Boot Sector (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A boot sector is a sector of a hard disk, floppy disk, or similar data storage device that contains code for booting programs stored in other parts of the disk. On an IBM PC compatible machine, the BIOS selects a boot device, then it copies the first sector from the device, to address location 0x7C00.
