Hi All !

  I got the below code compiled , but it does not 
give the desired results .

  I have two modules , stored on a  boot floppy .
The first module residing in the boot sector 
loads the second module ( residing 
on second sector of floppy )  into RAM and 
transfers control to it . The Second module 
prints a string onto the screen . 

  All the relevant code is given below . 
Please help this newbie  find out ,
what the problem is ?

  Thanks in Advance .

With Best Regards.
