    writing on hard drive sectors

    Hi guys
    Well I wanted to make a “software lock” for my recent app. I have some outlines of it in my mind. I think I should write something on the user’s hard drive so that the user can’t delete or modify it. And I think the only way to do this is to write the information on some sectors of the hard drive not in the form of file or inside of a file like win.ini. Does anybody know how to this? I mean reading/writing on hard drive sectors.
    If you have any other comments for developing the lock, I would be so happy if u share your knowledge with me.
    Thanks a lot

    you may want to use more intimate windows functions for this, and i would recommend c++ for that. make sure you have a few hard drives formatted and ready-to-go handy, because you may crash the one you use while testing...
