[python-win32] Write to address on PhysicalDisk

[Joe Grado]

I am trying to zero an entire usb drive including the boot sector. The
code below works perfect but if I try to open the drive in write
mode(wb) then I get this error message:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE1'

Code: Select all
    import binascii
    import wmi
    c = wmi.WMI ()

    for physical_disk in c.Win32_DiskDrive (InterfaceType='USB'):
      for partition in physical_disk.associators
("Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition"):
        for logical_disk in partition.associators
("Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition"):
          print physical_disk.Caption, partition.Caption, logical_disk.Caption

          f = open(physical_disk.DeviceID, 'rb')
          f.seek(0)
          mbr = f.read(512)
          f.close()



Any ideas? Thanks.
