title: What does [ORG 0x7C00] actually do to the file?
body: <p>I put the following code into NASM:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[BITS 16]  
  [ORG 0x7C00]  
  
  TIMES 510 - ($ - $$) db 0  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and looked at it in my hex editor and found a bunch of 0s. This was sort of what I expected, but now I ask the question: <strong>What did [ORG 0x7C00] actually do to the file?</strong></p>
