If you really want direct access to the raw device, like /dev/sdx under unixish/linuxish systems, you can open \\.\F: (permissions provided), potentially using CreateFile() via Win32::API. Also see this MSDN article on direct drive access, espcecially if you don't have a drive letter yet.

Win32API::File is the correct way to access CreateFile in Perl.	[reply]
