With the Win32 API, you would open (CreateFile()) the special name
"\\.\A:" to open a floppy or partition. In case that's mangled, that's
slash, slash, dot, slash, A, colon.
To open a physical disk, it's "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVEn", where "n" is the
drive number (base zero). (Again there's a slash, slash, dot, slash at
the beginning of that).
You can then read and write sectors.
If you're trying to open a hard disk, you'll need to be an Admin.
