Writing the Disk Editing Tool
The coding of the disk editing program has been given in the disk included with this book, with the file name “TTEDITOR.C”. You can use this program to analyze the hard disks or floppy disks surface. Even most of the study while writing this book, I have used TTEDITOR to analyze the disk surface or perform the disk modifications.
Some of the important tasks, this editing program can perform are as follows:
- Read per sector information of the surface of hard disks and floppy disks.
- Write the backup of any sector to file.
- Restore the data of the sector from the file.
- Modify the single byte.
- Hexadecimal to Decimal and Binary calculator.
The program uses biosdisk( ) and _bios_disk( ) function to access the disks. If you want to analyze the disk beyond the 8.4 GB, Modify the program with the use of Extensions of INT 13H. The description of the functions, used in the program has been given in the following table:
