Question on DOS File System

aceman817

Senior member
I am working on this problem from my operating systems class and I'm hoping that someone can lead me in the right direction.

Suppose a file system is organized like the DOS file system and the device index contains 64K pointers. Explain how the file manager could be designed to use the 64K pointers to reference every 512-byte block on a 512MB disk.

I know that DOS uses the original FAT specification, but other than that I'm not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Al
