You cannot - at least not in any way which makes sense. Windows
accesses everything from HDs as files, so you have to adapt to it.
BTW, how do you plan to retrieve your data if not as a file?
I am afraid you will have to 
- open a file
- write your data
- possibly do mre stuff with the file and
- close the file.
If you tell us what kind of problem you are trying to solve, you might
get different answers.
