Help me read physical sectors on the hard drive with Delphi 1

Hi there,

I want to read physical sectors (boot sector) on a fixed disk.
The reason for this is because the volume label and the serial
number of the disk is stored here.

Can someone help me accomplish this please...

Please reply to my email address as well since I can not read this
newsgroup regularly.

Any help appreciated.

Hello

You can use Win32 API for this purpose.

Try GetVolumeInformation().
