Using VC++ to read raw bytes from hard disk

Shrirang Ballal

I am doing a project which requires to read the raw bytes
from hard disk. It rrequires to access the partition table
and then the individual partitions. I want some material
related to these issues. If someone can suggest of a book
then that is also good. All the books I have seen are
related to the GUI design.

Waiting for reply,
Thank you
