I wrote a bootloader and I need it to be written to a USB drive. Since I am on Windows, my bootloader must support file systems such as FAT32 and FAT16 etc. I have used BPB (BIOS Parameter Block
) for that purpose. I am aware that a USB drive is comprised of sectors.
But does it have any head, tracks etc. ? Because, this information are to be mentioned in the Bios Parameter Block.
3Isn't this the third time you have asked this question? USB is not comprised of sectors or heads. It is a serial transmission method/protocol, which outdated RS232. It is one method used to communicate with removable external disk drives. – None – 2015-12-19T20:30:04.203

I don't know. You are asking the wrong question. USB has nothing to do with BPB or drive details in themselves, although it may be used to transfer such data through a USB connection. If you are trying to put a bootloader onto a USB drive, you'll probably just break it. – None – 2015-12-19T23:01:53.290
