debug problem in Windows XP pro SP2
hi all,
atm i'm learning ASM via several tutorials, and one of them started to explain the debug program..
one of the examples was:
c:\>debug
this is suppose to load the 10h to the 20h sector of the C drive starting at offset 0100h.
when i enter this command i get the following popup:
Quote:
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe -debug
An application has attempted to directly access the harddisk, which cannot be supported. This may cause the application to function incorrectly. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
now my question: since when is this?
i can remember doing this about a year ago (to recover data), but now it doesn't seem to work anymore. I can not remember if i did that then on w2k or xp, but i doubt if it would really matter...
does this has something to do with SP2?
if so, is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for the replies ;)
