How can I determine the Physical Sector Size (e.g. if i have an Advanced Format drive with 4,096 byte sectors rather than the legacy 512 byte sectors) in Windows 7? I know that by clicking on a file and get properties we can find out the NTFS Cluster Size , but that's not the same as the hard-drive's sector size. Note : We ask about Windows 7 because it (and Windows Vista SP1) understand the existence of 4096 Advanced Format hard drives. You want fsutil. Make sure you run Command Prompt as Admin. C:\Windows\system32>fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c: NTFS Volume Serial Number : 0xf4ca5d7cca5d3c54

I am using Hard disk ID for my software to check if the authentic user is using the software. For IDE type hard disk i get the id using the procedure GetIdeSerialNumber. but in case of SATA drives it gives the id as blank. Then in case of SATA drives i am using volume id as unique id. but volume id will change when system is formatted Now I want to know which hard drive i am using ,and how to get the hard disk id of SATA drive in delphi 7 ? EDIT: the software according to client specifications needs to be locked to the hardware, the ID's concerned are MAC address HD id (SATA or IDE) Controller

Please someone give me a code to create a text file in hard drive Result should be a html file, when double click html file it need to create a text file in a given path in hard drive(local). Thank you. Javascript in a regular HTML page in a browser is not allowed direct access to a path of your choice on the hard disk for security reasons. The, somewhat experimental, FileSystem APIs in newer browsers offering some capabilities to a sandboxed file system, but you will have to see if your need can be satisfied with those APIs. Other than that, you would need some way around the security

Recently after a couple of power outages, my computer has gotten quite messed up (BSODs every now and then, entire OS behaves really strange). Now I have a program that ran perfectly fine before my computer got messed up. This program just basically creates a file using CreateFile and writes to it using WriteFile . This program also has other stuff doing their thing based on this file. I noticed that the entire program acted strangely as well. My debugging results: I noticed that after CreateFile , the file is created where it should be (checked using Explorer and command-line). WriteFile did

Is there a way to emulate a disk drive in .NET, intercepting read/write/lock operations? I would like to create something with a front-end similar to GMail Drive in C#. Thanks, Tom I use the Eldos Callback File System myself for this purpose, but although it's good, it's not exactly cheap. There are some free/cheap projects as well, and I'm sure one of them was mentioned in a similar question on SO recently -- can't find it anymore at the moment, though. Stability tends to be a major issue, though, as layered Windows file system drivers aren't trivial. On Linux you can use the Mono.Fuse API (

I'm trying to work with R using a directory in my external hard drive as working directory. I can set the working directory to where I want, but when I use list.files R can't see anything. I also can't use read.delim to load a file. For example: > rm(list = ls()) > WD<-"../../../Volumes/My_HD/my_working_directory" > setwd(WD) > getwd() [1] "/Volumes/My_HD/my_working_directory" So far so good, but then: > list.files(WD) character(0) Whilst I would expect a list of the files that I know are there and that I can see and open with Finder and with the Terminal. Actually the R script itself is

How To Get The Serial Number for all type of harddisk in c#.net Looks like this article should help It uses the WMI Win32_PhysicalMedia class. S.M.A.R.T. IOCTL.
