special hello world program, not just your regular "printf("hello world");" need help

[solarwind]

I need to make a special program. This program will be bootable from any 3.5 inch 1.4 megabyte floppy disk. Once a computer without any operating system (such as windows or linux) is started with the floppy disk, the program will simply print "hello world" on the screen. I know this task is much harder than just using the printf function in c but that is what i want to do and i will GREATLY APPRECIATE it if anyone can help me accomplish this task



--thanks in advance to anyone who can help

You should google around for writing bootable code, you'll need to know assembly and how to access video mode for your project.
