  12. Would someone please explain (or ideally provide) the alogrothim required
  13. to create the checksum for a bootblock?  I have tried adding up the first
  14. two sectors bytewise and longwise, however neither methods appear to be
  15. correct and the "RKM: Devices"  "additive carry wraparound" doesn't really
  16. mean that much to me...
  17.  
  18. Thanks in advance,
