Well , could someone tell me how to read/write to a disc drive ? And by disc drive , I mean *disc*drive* , not the files on it. I'm using VC++ 6 , and would prefer the easiest method , even if it 'doesn't comply with the standards' (I remember an implementation based on 'open' which treated the drive as a file... but if someone knows about it could he/she explain it to me?)

I/O directly to the drive is OS and platform specific. For you, that would be the Windows API. So I would Google and search MSDN for the relevant sections on disk management and I/O. It’s all nonstandard code, so forget about trying to get a standard and portable API here.
You sure you don’t want to upgrade to something from this decade?I'm using VC++ 6 -
Please , I remember some C code using open to achieve this. Ok , if not this , could someone explain 'open' - just open and the functions related to it ?Comment
