Hello, I am trying to write to the raw physical disk on Windows 8.1 but I get an error: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE2\\\\'
OS: Windows 8.1 Python: 3.3.2 Drive is a USB drive Running as administrator Code Snippet: with open(r"\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2\\", "rb+") as f: #Writing Binary! f.seek(unallocatedoffset + 0) f.write(t1) or with open('\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE2\\', "rb+") as f: #Writing Binary! f.seek(unallocatedoffset + 0) f.write(t1) or f = os.fdopen(os.open('\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE2\\' os.O_CREAT | os.O_WRONLY | os.O_APPEND | os.O_EXCL)) Any suggestions? Is it possible? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
