build filedisk 1.7 using 2003sp1_ddk

[1] build environment windows xp sp3
[2] ddk 1830_usa_ddk.iso --> grep from ms (2003sp1 ddk)
[3] install ddk to host , say X:\WINDDK
cd X:\WINDDK\BIN
setenv X:\WINDDK fre WXP
[4] grep filedisk-17.zip source code & extract to X:\filedisk
cd X:\filedisk\exe
build
cd X:\filedisk\sys\src
build
[5] you get filedisk.sys and filedisk.exe

build spfdisk

[1] you must grep the source code, Spf2K3vO.7z
[2] turboC 2.0, masm6.1x , tasm2.0

c:\tc\
c:\min_masm\bin\
c:\tasm\

[3] add below asm.bat

@echo off
echo tc2.0 install in c:\tc
echo tasm20 install in c:\tasm
echo masm6.x install in c:\min_masm
pause
copy include\*.h .
path=%path%;c:\tasm;c:\tc
tcc -mm -c bootmgr.c

path=%path%;c:\min_masm\bin
masm bootsect.asm
masm int13.asm
masm int24.asm
masm loader.asm
masm pre_load.asm

echo -----------------
echo In tc you select spfdisk.prj
echo compile model: medium , code 186/286 , use float processor
echo obj debug info:off
echo link option ignore case sensitive link
echo source debug:off
echo build all
echo -----------------
pause
tc

[4] add below spfdisk.prj
