So, let us begin then.:) Introduction to Bootable Devices Example: What do you mean by computers?, or Why do I need them because I am much smarter than them? So many question and answer kind of conversations has been put in to make sure that I will understand its importance and purpose in my every day life. To be frank, I will write this article as if I am introducing this article to myself.

Throughout this article, I will be introducing you to various terminologies related to computers in the way of questions and answers.

If you are new to computer programming then I would suggest you to read a few tutorials on introducing programming and computer fundamentals and then come back to this article. Though this article seems to be fairly introductory, writing programs in Assembly and C can be a daunting task during boot time.

This article really helps you a lot if you have prior programming experience in any language.

Introduction to the development environment.

So here is the break down of the contents in the order I brief you about how to write a boot loader. How the article is organizedĪs far I am concerned I want to introduce in the article some of the basics and then follow that with code. As this is an introductory learning article on how to write boot code I don't want to bother you much about more advanced topics like speed, writing smaller code, etc. I have not explained why a boot loader cannot be written in other languages like assembly and the drawbacks in terms of writing a boot loader in one language when compared to another.

I will limit the scope of the article to how to write program code and how to copy it to the boot sector of a floppy disk image, and then how to test the floppy disk if it boots with your program code or not, using an x86 emulator like bochs on Linux. In case you require more detailed explanation, you can browse through many articles provided on the internet. I tried to generalize the meaning and importance of each stage so that it may be easy to understand and remember too. It felt hard to explain about computers, bootable devices, and how to write code in a single article so I have tried to do my best to explain the most common aspects of learning about computers and what is meant by booting. During this process, I will break down the article into various sections. In this article, I will only try to brief you about how to boot a floppy image by writing your own code and inject into the boot sector of a device (a boot loader program). I consider this article to be an introduction on writing a boot loader in C and Assembly and I did not want to get into performance comparisons against code written in C and Assembly in terms of writing a boot loader.
