Help to design a loader & CD-ROM emmulator in C

Started by paras sharma April 28, 2007
Hello to every one;
                           I am a engineering student & for my
satisfaction I am trying to develop a loader to load a own made
program (which is a emulator) at boot time. My moto is to make a CD-
ROM emulator so that the ISO (of any OS stored in HDD) can be run to
install the OS (this way one can install OS without makin CD of it).
I
will wellcome any sort of help in this regard, any link (about making
loaders in C or general) or CD-ROM emulator or something else u think
of my use.
                        WELLCOME & THANKS for u programmers form a
learing student.

You just need to reprogram the BIOS.

You might want to look at other free emulators, like Bochs and QEMU, for coding ideas. Bochs is in C++, but I was able to modify it for my uses just with my limited grasp of C.
