I'm not too sure about this, but in this book i've got (Using Assembly 
Language by Allen L Wyatt) it's got a routine for formatting disks for use 
under DOS, and therefore it has some simple boot sector code which it writes 
to the disk that says insert bootable disk etc etc.. Now the first lines of 
code in this boot sector that are actually executed are
mov ax, 7c0h
mov ds, ax
mov es, ax
and it has a comment saying 'standard loading place for boot sector' so I can 
only guess that that is where the BIOS loads the boot sector into memory, so
maybe put that code in, just in case (although i never put it in and mine 
still worked) Anyone else got any information here?
