It is possible to access a raw disk using the CreateFile()
function by passing
"\\.\PhysicalDriveX"
as name.
Where X
is a 0
-based index counting the drives.
Question
Without having to write a low-level Windows driver, but still using either Java or some C-based API, is it possible to read/write from/to a raw, unpartitioned drive... one that has got no file-system on it?
A short sample program would help. If not, at least knowing what standard Windows/Java (or, 3rd Party) API I could use in userspace (without having to write a device driver) would help.
