RawDisk software allows for the reading and writing of secure files, raw disks, and partitions in various Windows versions directly from applications.
As a software developer, you might have encountered issues while trying to access files or partitions from your disks, especially hard drives and flash disks, due to the limitations of Windows XP and the later versions. Windows XP restricts direct access to disks if the application is run under a restricted account, whereas Windows Vista, 7, and 8 entirely deny access to disks from user-mode processes.
Furthermore, if the file is exclusively opened by another application or if the security settings (permissions) do not allow access to the file, both systems block its opening. Fortunately, RawDisk resolves this problem by providing a kernel-mode driver that can be used with your applications.
With this driver, you can easily read and write data from and to the disk or opened files without any constraints. You only need to integrate two additional function calls in your application, and RawDisk will take care of the rest, ensuring hassle-free access to your disks.
