| Post subject: | Writing and reading at specifical address of hard disk c++ |
Hi, i hope i will get an answer here after done 4 forums. I am looking for how to write and read at specifical address in a hard disk under Windows 7. I mean by specifical address, in a sole physical sector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector and without taking care of any file or file system. I am using c++. So i specify again i am looking for a fonction in c++ who asks a physical sector address and go to search all bit who are in this sole sector, this fonction should not have relation with any file or file system. |

you open the disk device using a special file name... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... nder-win32 open with CreateFile https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363858(v=vs.85).aspx calculate offset into file using sector size and off you go.... cheers |
