title: How can i put a compiled boot sector onto a USB stick or disk?
body: <p>I'm actually interested in how an OS works, from the POST over the Boot process to the Kernel, GUI, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Well I have to start at the beginning: The bootsector</p>
  
  <p>Most tutorials only specify how to get your .bin bootstrapper onto an USB stick for Linux users. </p>
  
  <p>But as I'm using XP I would like to ask <strong>how do I get my 512 byte .bin onto the right position on my USB</strong>, and thats definitely not by copying it with explorer :D</p>
