: How to open a logical partition and read all of its file using windows function ReadFile() ?

[krish]

Hii

In my application , wanna copy all files from one partition to another
partition.

First I copied a file that I taken default and copied to another
partition.

The above operation is done by using the control code
"FSCTL_GET_RETRIEVAL_POINTERS".

The clusters used are read and wrote into destination volume using
readfile() and writefile() windows functions.


Now I gotta copy all files.....

So how to proceed ....??

Why not just use robocopy.exe, part of the Windows Resource Kit
Tools? It's a free download from

and runs on XP (maybe even 2000), despite the name saying '2003'.
Robocopy is one *really good* copy & backup program, having tons of
useful options. I use it for incremental backups of my computers at
home to external HDs, etc.
