How to write some data in CD progrmatically
-
Hi, I need to write some data in the CD (ofcourse through a CD writer) and need to read it programatically. But my concern is that it should not be recorded in the CDFS. So it is obviously a hidden data... :) I am not sure about the API(s) which can be used for this. Will DeviceIOControl help? Thanks in advance.

An option (though remaining in the CDFS) maybe
steganography, there are a lot of articles here at CP, most of them written by Corinna John (she's able to hide info almost anywhere :rolleyes:) http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/MemberArticles.aspx?amid=475133[^]. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Thank you for the reply. But I need to keep the data in CD itself, not as a file.

His point is that you can keep it in a file on the CD. Then you can probably use easier APIs to write a file(s) to a CD as per normal. (And no, I have no idea about those APIs, but they'll make it a lot easier than raw device driver stuff to read and write your secret data. Iain.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I got his idea, ofcourse. But I have to write in the CD itself.

Thank you. I have to do a deep look in to that.
