Im sort of a newbie on this.. need help on having this code in inline assembler for Visual C++ 6.0.. ive been trying to understand why the msdev hangs when it reaches INT 21h after i some of the 16 bit registers to 32 e.g eax,ebx,edi etc..
C++ code is as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "drivesex.h"
main()
{
int i;
Drives_Exist();
for (i = 0; i < 26; i++)
{
if (drives[i<<2] == DRIVEXISTS)
{
printf("%c: ",i+65);
printf("%s ",drives[(i<<2)+1] == 0 ? "Removable" : "Fixed ");
switch (drives[(i<<2)+2])
{
case LOCALDRV :printf("Local ");
break;
case REMOTEDRV:printf("Remote ");
break;
case SHAREDRV :printf("Shared ");
break;
}
switch (drives[(i<<2)+3])
{
case FLOPPY:printf("Floppy");
break;
case HARD :printf("Hard");
break;
case RAM :printf("RAM");
break;
case SUBST :printf("Subst");
break;
case CDROM :printf("CD-ROM");
break;
}
printf("\n");
}
}
}
the asm code is included separately as an ASM file:
; DRIVESEX.ASM - Drive existence detection July 6th, 1994
; Code by : Lee Hamel (hamell@cs.pdx.edu)
; Partial credit: Paul Schlyter
;
; Goes through drives A-Z and determines if they:
; 1) Exist
; 2) Are removable or fixed
; 3) Are local, remote, or shared
; 4) Are a floppy, hard, RAM, subst, or CD-ROM drive
;
; Callable from C as: void Drives_Exist(void);

Thanks.. i would be grateful to anyone who can answer..
