You can use the CreateFile function to open a physical disk drive or a
volume. The function returns a handle that can be used with the
DeviceIoControl function. This enables you to access the disk's
partition table. It is potentially dangerous to do so, since an
incorrect write to a disk could make its contents inaccessible. The
following requirements must be met for such a call to succeed:

* The caller must have administrative privileges. For more
information, see Running with Special Privileges.
* The dwCreationDisposition parameter must have the OPEN_EXISTING
flag.
* When opening a volume or floppy disk, the dwShareMode parameter
must have the FILE_SHARE_WRITE flag.

When opening a physical drive, x, the lpFileName string should be of
the form \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE<x>. Hard disk numbers start at zero. The
following table shows some example physical drive strings.

for example the string \\.\D or \\.\D: should work ( depending on what
you are doing)
