Hi again, Robert I know my problem was confusion between MBR and the boot sector. But anyway, fdisk and bootmgr should return the same data... Anton - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Eric already told me. ;-)

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(index0x1be);
do{
fputc(0,file_pointer);
index++;
}while(index512);
fclose(file_pointer);
}

Sounds okay if you only want the MBR code and not the partition
table, but of course you also zap the 55 aa this is bootable
sign at the end with this masking. Good intention bad result...
Especially bad result for people who think that backing up
their MBR would also backup the beginning of their partition
table, of course. So I suggest to stop masking :-)
void Save_MBR()
...
int index=0;
...
do
{
fputc(sector_buffer[index],file_pointer);
index++;
}while(index0x1be);
do{
fputc(0,file_pointer);
index++;
}while(index512);

[Freedos-user] Console
Hey, Does anyone know how to get console redirection working in FreeDos? I'm assuming that this is possible but I haven't been able to find any information on it. I want to be able to control FreeDos via the serial port. Thanks in advance. Chris - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[Freedos-user] Free disk space reported incorrectly
When files are deleted from floppy or hard disks, the free space reported either by 'dir' or by my file managers remains the same most of the times, but sometimes it is updated as it should. This is happening in all 3 of my FreeDOS computers. I use Navigator, NDN, Connect and File Wizard. Am I missing something?
