Dyego, from the documentation of CreateFile in old Visual C++ docs I found the following description how to specify in Windows the name of a disk drive or a partition on a disk drive. The name you used below looks more a Linux way to specify a disk partition.
Best regards, Heikki Tuuri Innobase Oy --- InnoDB - transactions, hot backup, and foreign key support for MySQL See http://www.innodb.com, download MySQL-Max from http://www.mysql.com " Disk Devices Windows NT: You can use the CreateFile function to open a disk drive or a partition on a disk drive. The function returns a handle to the disk device; that handle can be used with the DeviceIOControl function. The following requirements must be met in order for such a call to succeed: · The caller must have administrative privileges for the operation to succeed on a hard disk drive. · The lpFileName string should be of the form \\.\PHYSICALDRIVEx to open the hard disk x. Hard disk numbers start at zero. For example: String Meaning \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2 Obtains a handle to the third physical drive on the user’s computer. · The lpFileName string should be \\.\x: to open a floppy drive x or a partition x on a hard disk. For example: String Meaning \\.\A: Obtains a handle to drive A on the user’s computer. \\.\C: Obtains a handle to drive C on the user’s computer.
