FDISK is wrong. BOOTMGR is right. *g*
Here's the corresponding code snippet from FDISK, where offsets >= 0x1BE
are filled with zeros by design (second do/while loop). Does anyone
(Eric?) know the reason?
***
/* Save MBR */
void Save_MBR()
{
int index=0;
FILE *file_pointer;
Read_Physical_Sectors(flags.drive_number,0,0,1,1);
file_pointer = fopen("boot.mbr","wb");
if(!file_pointer)
{
printf("\nError opening or creating \"BOOT.MBR\" for
writing...Program Terminated.\n");
exit(8);
}
do
{
fputc(sector_buffer[index],file_pointer);
index++;
}while(index<0x1be);
do{
fputc(0,file_pointer);
index++;
}while(index<512);
fclose(file_pointer);
}
