Vista has broken an app of mine that does raw sector read/writes. The
reading part still works when the app is elevated to admin mode but
writing does not. I use this method for disk access:
fh:=fileopen('\.\C:\',fmOpenReadWrite or fmShareDenyNone);
fileseek() and filewrite() are used normally with all offsets and byte
counts set to multiples of the disk's sector size.
What options do I have to get direct sector writes working under Vista?
