Description
This was a very simple program that could read and write raw data from an image file to a 3.5" floppy diskette using the Win32 API.
Comments
I think I got the idea to write this program because to install Linux you used to have to create a bootable Linux diskette. There were always other utilities to do it, I think I just decided it would be fun to write my own. One thing I remember about developing this is that it was the first time I needed the GUI to display something (a progress bar) while some processing was being done (writing to the diskette). I think I looked into making it multi-threaded, but ended up just adding some code to run the windows message loop within the code that was writing to the diskette. This project also got me interested in learning more about the FAT filesystem structure.
