There's a DEBUG script I use under dos to zero fill the Master Boot Record on the hard drive. Let me include it here:
Script is not case sensitive. Caps are used for readability only. Type in the commands just as you see them, including spaces. Note the blank line just before the G command. Lines beginning with a quotation mark " represent response from the computer. The X's represent digits that have no relevance to the script. The four digits that follow the colon however are significant. Should you receive a response that is different, STOP! I have no information as to what might happen if you continue the script under those circumstance. DEBUG "- F200 L1000 0 A CS:100 "xxxx:0100 MOV AX,301 "xxxx:0103 MOV BX,200 "xxxx:0106 MOV CX,1 "xxxx:0109 MOV DX,80 "xxxx:010C INT 13 "xxxx:010E INT 20 "xxxx:0110 G "program terminated normally Any questions, just drop me an email.
