take a look at the hex analysis of the bootsector. PLAIN UGLY. someone know how to fix that without breaking the monospaced font? - Combuster 09:00, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Nice work - Combuster 04:41, 7 December 2006 (CST)

The section "File Allocation Table Entry Cluster Values" Is plainly rediculous... It seems like almost a joke on the reader? I mean stuff like

"AND the binary value of the hexadecimal number of 8007 (1000 0000 0000 0111) to the binary value of the hexadecimal number 0FFF (0000 1111 1111 1111). The result is **7 (hex or decimal). "

It goes back and forth about hex vs decimal vs binary.... A number is a number, no matter what base it's in... the whole section just seems like it's made to be as confusing as possible... or is it just me? I'm not trying to be critical but it does seem to be done that way on purpose. I'll try to rewrite that section if I can obtain the correct knowledge somewhere.
