Could someone point me in the write direction as to how I could view clusters or sectors in a windows file system using C++? Also, I will be doing the same with ext3 so maybe that as well if you know where I could find the resource.

Hold on, before posting any links you do realize that you are toying with fire, right? You can cause problems reading your hard-disk with improper implementation of whatever it is that you are trying to do. For ext, why not just look at some linux source? To be honest, you could hit up the ubuntu source for info about NTFS too.
Yes I am aware of that and that is why I will be using a "junk drive" so to speak (I have a 20 gig I am willing to use as a test subject). Actually, I also wanted to see if I could test it on a virtual machine as well.Quote:

Just open the drive itself with CreateFile() - there is a good amount of info in the link about "Opening a physical device". Note that you can not have it "mounted" (that is, Windows must not use the disk in any way when you try to open it as a physical disk).
