Hi,
i am trying to get starting offset of 0th (Zero) cluster on disk.
(NTFS or FAT32).
I got this FSCTL_GET_RETRIEVAL_POINTER_BASE control code but it works
only with Windows 7 and doesnot work with windows xp and vista.
if anybody know how to find zero cluster offset in bytes in windows xp
then please reply me,
thanks,
hitesh

Parse the FAT bootblock yourself.

For NTFS, this offset is 0
