d l,

Sorry to disappoint you, but if you can write to disk (follow Kat's advice),
then you can read it too. If you write outside the DOS file structure, you
will only fool newbies (no offence intended), who expect everything to be
properly organized and available. Any disk editing tool will let you read
(and write) physical sectors, whether the disk is formatted DOS, elf, Mac,
or what have you. A commercial cracker or pirate would never rely on
directories and files, s/he would grab a disk image and use it as a master
for copies; this image would include all your 'bytes on a disk,' file or
not.
