C
BYTE LoadMBR( DISK * dsk );
Description
The LoadMBR function will use the function pointed to by the MDD_SectorRead function pointer to read the 0 sector from the device. If a valid boot signature is obtained, this function will compare fields in that cached sector to the values that would be present if that sector was a boot sector. If all of those values match, it will be assumed that the device does not have a master boot record and the 0 sector is actually the boot sector. Otherwise, data about the partition and the actual location of the boot sector will be loaded from the MBR into the DISK structure pointed to by 'dsk.'
Preconditions
This function should not be called by the user.
