;       The BootSector structure contains information about the disk
;       (or other storage medium) for a particular drive. The
;       structure appears at the beginning of the first sector (the
;       boot, or startup, sector) of the disk.
;       The BootSector structure shares the first sector with the
;       bootstrap routine and the boot sector signature. The boot
;       sector signature, stored in the last two bytes of the sector,
;       must be 0AA55h.
