Hi Marton,
I checked your PROT program (1995, shareware, 30 bucks for
the full version, demo version has fixed key datar) from
sunsite.rediris.es/pub/msdos/security/protdrx.zip a bit...
The binary installer is 16 kilobytes, DIET compressed, easy
to decompress with UNP. See the bottom of this
Hello Eric,
thanks for the analysis.
a) so PROT is good enough to keep Mom from using the computer if Dad is
out of house, but not a bit better.
b) if the author has no email address, does anybody think you could
buy a registered version ? But Mom probably doesn't know 'datar'
either ;)

OK, when I meant sector 0, I meant the first sector. If it's the case,
startSector is 0 but in this case where the tool moves it to the second
sector, startSector is 1, so partitionStart goes to 64 which is not right.
Do you know any way around it? Is it right to not add startSector to the

So far so good.
I found the problem to be in initdisk.c, function ScanForPrimaryPartitions.

Well if the tool moves it to sector 1 and tells FreeDOS that the partition
is there, and FreeDOS recognizes the

Virtual PC doesn't refuse to read the FreeDOS floppy at all, neither

The tool basically moves the partition table to somewhere in the track 0
area. When you put the hard disk as slave, you can't access it (It's a neat
protection). When it boots, it temporarily unhides the partition so the OS
can see it and boot, and then hides it again. With any version of MS-DOS

Well, I did some research on everything and found the cause of the problem.
First, I confirmed that what the tool does is this:
1) The partition table is moved from sector 0 to sector 1
2) Some code is written to sector 0. This code asks for a password and if
you fail, you can't boot.
I found

The above tool provides a very interesting hard disk security. It works
perfectly on any DOS version (I tested 5, 6.22 and 7). On FreeDOS, it does
not like to work.
