Harddrive Access
-
Does anyone know if you can control the harddrive directly. I want to beable to read or write to a specific sector to see what is contained in that sector. And can this be done with VB 6 or .NET or would you have to use a C type language. Thanks for any help

i thought with win 2000/xp/nt you couldnt control it directly because of the core design of the os [shell/kernel]. i know sum1 will help you about this, because i sure cant lol. sum1 can reaffirm this or disprove it, as they will know more about it than me.

I know that you can not access the memory because of the protected mode that the OS operates at, but im not sure about the hard drive i think it is possible.

It's possible in VB6 and VB.NET, but not easily done. Since the hardware is abstracted from your app, there is no direct way of doing this. You have to go through the drivers sitting in the kernel to get the sectors for you. You'll be declaring a bunch of API calls and structures to get this to work. C++ is a much better choice...
