Direct access to floppy| Null (130) |  |
| Hello, I need to access floppy disk directly (not files but sectors). I know how to write using lseek() and write() but how about reading? I'm using windows xp and dev-c++. | |

| This is significantly more difficult. I searched MSDN and found a page with examples of how to do it with a CD-ROM drive: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138434 It says that it's the same process as it is for HDs and Floppies, so it should apply. If nothing else it'll give you a starting point for further research. | |
