- BOOTLOOK
-
- This is a little ditty I wrote one Sunday afternoon 'cuz I was curious
- about the boot sector and the information I read that it contains.
-
- BOOTLOOK reads track 0, sector 1 and prints a simple (and not real well
- organized) report to the screen that tells you ...
-
- 1. What version of DOS was used to format the disk.
- 2. How many sectors and clusters.
- 3. How many FAT tables, directory entries and reserved sectors.
- 4. How many sectors the disk uses.
- 5. How many cylinders (tracks) are on the disk.
- 6. How many heads (sides) are used.
- 7. Total disk capacity.
-
- It works on floppy disks and hard drives.
-
- It is simple to use and totally harmless. It might even be useful!
- The source code requires Turbo Professional 5.0 for one or two calls
- which could be done from DOS functions without too much trouble.
-
- Just type BOOTLOOK and press <ENTER> ...
-
- Enjoy,
