QuestionSetFilePointer() + WriteFile() Problems? Pin

Hii

In my program I'm reading the clusters in the volume using the appropriate physical offsets to the disk.



drive_handle=Createfile(L"\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive0",......);

for(  i=0;total_noof_clusters;i++)//assign 0 as logical startling offset.
{
// convert cluster logical offset to physical offset
// (source& dest same size,same file system)

 phys_offset_source= conversion(i);  // this value I get correctly
 phys_offset_dest= conversion(i);  // this value I get correctly


 DWORD dwPtr1=SetFilePointer(drive_handle,phys_offset_source,NULL,0);
 if (dwPtr1 == INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER) // Test for failure
 {
 printf("\nSetFilePointer Failed to read from source,:%d\n",GetLastError());
 return 0;
 }


 if(!ReadFile(drive_handle,
                    bBuffer1,
                    cluster_size,
                    &dwRetBytes1,
                    0))
{
printf("\nUnable to Read the Disk Error: %d\n",GetLastError());   
return o;
}
   
 DWORD dwPtr2=SetFilePointer(drive_handle,phys_offset_dest,NULL,0);

 if (dwPtr2 == INVALID_SET_FILE_POINTER) // Test for failure
 {
 printf("\nSetFilePointer Failed to write position%d\n",GetLastError());
 return 0;
 }


 if(!WriteFile(drive_handle,
                    bBuffer1,
                    cluster_size,
                    &dwRetBytes1,
                    0))
{
printf("\nUnable to write he Drive Error: %d\n",GetLastError());   
return o;
}

} // next cluster





The above code not giving no (compilation and link)error messages,
But does not give the result.

How do we know the program reading correctly?
It returns the correct no of bytes read after one read operation .
When I wrote theses data into destination , nothing wrote.

What may be the problem??
Where is the mistake in the code ?

Any idea?

Thanking you
