Re: Accessing the sectors of an harddisk

Hallo Hans-Peter,


Hmm, I wonder how Windows then will be able to format a any HD...

FDISK does the initial work by writing data to the very first sector
of the disk, the Master Boot Record. Windows just reads this sector
and then knows how the disk is partioned.
I write my own MBR, one Windows doesn't understand.


Which Windows version do you use?

Mainly W98SE but my program must be able to work in XP as well.
