CHS or LBA translation
I only have the MBR of my Hard Disk now I need to know in what sector is the boot sector to read this but I don't know how to find with the CHS. How to find the boot sector through LBA?

Re: CHS or LBA translation
And what does it have to do with Visual C++ programming?

Yes it's possible but if you run under anything NT based it's not possible to do that from user space.

You need to ask a specific question pertaining to Visual C++. If you have a problem declaring something, a struct is not defined when you compile, a missing header that should be there, etc. then ask about that.
As to your question:

The answer to that need not even be a program, regardless of the language. It could just as well be a basic description of what to do in general.
