Is there a way to read raw sectors from a floppy disk in VB? I want to be able to create an image file from non-windows formatted floppies. It seems that every operation that can be performed in VB is file oriented. Therefore making it impossible to read data from different file systems.
Anybody?
Thanks in advance, Andy De Filippo.

Thanks, I'll try that. But what's the correct string for drive A: in win9x? And what's the sector size, do you know?
