Uh... this is highly OS dependent... You need to be able to do direct RAW disk sector addressing; something that OSs don't really like to give to applications. You also need very good documentation of the file system (and the only file system I know well enough to navigate at that level is one I haven't used in over a decade -- the file system used by the Amiga, which was a hashed-head, multiple linked list scheme). -- WulfraedDennis Lee Bieber KD6MOG [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/ Yes, OK I guess NTFS would be of most interest to me. From the research I have been doing it may be that it is a fairly in depth undertaking and possibly not such a good project considering my knowledge of NTFS and python. I will have bit more of a look about. Thanks (Bestiaria Support Staff: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) HTTP://www.bestiaria.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
