If you want to talk about security risks of using system(), start another thread. Then I can give you good reasons. But my problem is not formating a floppy disk, so I don't need system() at this time. There are ways to tell system doing something without sending commands to cmd.
You want to force me using system() when I don't need it?

According to this 1998 thread there are no win32 api functions that will allow a program to format a diskette. That may be true, but does not explain how other win32 programs, such as Explorer, accomplishes it. You might explor the DeviceIoControl function.
As I understand, it says there is no function to do it directly for example "format(char* DrvLetter)". But I want to format using direct access to the floppy drive. For example take the head to position x and write y. Maybe with low level hardware access that I think windows will not allow or by Win32 API.Originally Posted by That site
