| Summary: | Every hard disk contains disk geometry information (size, cylinder, track, sector) and Master Boot Record (MBR). Visualing both of these data are not something new. However, the actual codes for obtaining these information directly from hard disk is not much discussed or revealed. In this paper, the disk geometry information and the content of MBR are visualized directly from a hard disk using two developed C programs. The output from both of these programs are successfully verified by comparing their output with that of existing tools. This paper shares the working C codes to directly obtain information of the disk geometry and the content of MBR. |
