C++ FAT32 Access

Rob
Hi,

Does anyone have any idea of any API that exists, or functions that
others have created to find out the start cluster address of any
particular file on a FAT32 formatted disc.
I dont mind using linux to do this, as i presume windows would never
allow low level access to the disc like this.

Thanks

Hi Gang, I have so far been unable to get the TextStream Object to write on Fat32. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro Sp4. Scripts have write access and I even tried giving IUSR user level writes and still when I tried loading the ASP page it just hangs trying to create the file :(. <% Function WriteText(sPath, sText) Dim fso, TextFile
