Writing to specific disk areas.
Okay, here's the deal. I want to know how to write to specific area's on the hard disk in C++. Such as:
writing zeros to a specified sector
writing the MBR
formatting the disk w/out 'system("format c:");'
formatting a disk in a specific format, or a new one
writing to FAT tables
writing partitions
I know other languages can do this better, but I'd prefer C++, or the syntax for BAT files.
I'm quite interested in making one of those disk wiping programs, and creating a partitioning utility. A defragment utility, or a FAT table/MBR backup utility is also on the list.
So if you have specific information, or specific pages to view, that would be helpful as I can't seem to find too much via google.
