Hi, I am wanting to be able to have access to my external HD by opening it up using something like open(......); and reading the bootsector and switching Sectors around and stuff. My questions might be screwy, but I don't know how to go about doing this, I don't know if I have to write a kernel Extension or if I can do this in User space. Basically I want to mess around with an External HD that is formatted totally in MS-DOS. So what do I need to do to get access to the drive. When I do open(.....) in user space, it says the drive is busy.
