I'm working on a program in Turbo C, and want to do a checksum on a hard disk's boot and partition record (similar to F-OSCHK in the F-PROT anti-virus package). As a result, I'd like to know the exact sectors where these records reside. (I have a DOS programmers manual ordered, but I'm getting impatient. <grin> ) While I'm at it, what's the absolute location of the hard disk serial numbers generated by DOS 4.01 and above? Finally... does anyone know why the C function absread (read absolute sector) would fail on DOS 4.01 and DOS 5.0 but run perfectly on DOS 3.3? Thanks! Paul G - a.k.a.
