Dear Experts,
                I am Ravi kumar.N, I am trying to write a format
program for floppy which i want it to work as windows format utility
works. And my question is as follows.

   The work of formatting is to erase all the contents and to write
file system to the disk, and when I try to copy a file to the
formatted disk there should be a code which does

   1) Find the file size.
 
   2) Break the file as per the sector size.
 
  3) place the content of the file in the free cluster.
 
 4) Mark the cluster as occupied in the FAT table as soon as I place
the file in the cluster.

 where this code should be placed.As per my knowledge i think this
code should be placed in the root part of the file structure, but i
don't think this is true.If anybody knows this please let me know.

With Regards,
  Ravi Kumar.N
