Im not a newbie but assembly seems to be hard...ive worked with basic, vb, c/c++ and some java and at the moment im working on my own OS that has MS-Dos 6.2 as its 'core' and my problem is to have it boot from a diskette on a laptop w/o a harddrive...?

ive read all there is about EasyOS so dont tell me to look at that, but that made me believe that im in need of assembly, so ive got here to find some answers on HOW TO make it boot from a diskette...

the OS partly made in QuickBasic 7.1 and partly in c.

Help is appriciated!
Tuts is REALLY appriciated!
Exaples is most appriciated!
