I would. It's in assembly rather than C, though. I'll extrapolate the relevant parts into a small file and upload them in the next few days. Hi Bret,

Would you be willing to donate the used algorithm in some (maybe C language) form which could be called for example by https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/blob/master/kernel/initdisk.c I think as long as the kernel knows the LBA ranges where GPT FAT partitions are, a lot of everyday use cases would already be covered. Not sure how to boot from GPT then, but outside the kernel, only a few DOS components would care about raw partitioning data, so adding GPT support to the kernel would be really useful :-) Thanks!
