Thanks for the code, but unfortunately this is NOT what I need. The
discussion is about accessing PHYSICAL drives, e.g. a first hard drive in
your PC, i.e le /dev/hda. While your code can access only a:, c:, d:, etc.,
that is, a partition or a floppy, but not a physical harddisk. MS says that
his methods (CreateFile and DeviceIOControl) fails in the case of physical
harddisks on Win9x, and my experience confirm this.
Regards,
Serguei.
