Umm... Do you mean Cyl. = 0, Sec. = 0 and Head = 0? That would be the boot area. To do this, it will be required to write or obtain another program that copies the file programmatically to the appropriate place. Be aware that there is a "magic number" signature that should be written to a particular place in that area to make a PC boot up routine. Also be aware that the area stated is exactly 512 bytes (no, not kilobytes, *BYTES*!) long and that a jump instruction will be necessary to jump to the rest of the program if it is over about 500 ( 512 - sizeof(magic number) - sizeof(jump instruction) - sizeof(jump address)) bytes long. There is a bit of material on how to do this on the web. Best to search for programming boot sector and see what you get.
