raw device

I am looking for a way to mount a USB disc drive as a raw device. Where I
could access data with sector seeks. Is there a way to do this?

Well, if you insert the device and Windows assigns it a drive letter you
should be able to access to it at the physical level with CreateFile(). Read
this

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...createfile.asp

and scroll down to "Physical disks and volumes".

Regards,
Will
