Use CreateFile() with the path "\\.\A:" (you'll need to double up the
paths for C++. I think you can then use ReadFile and just remember that
floppy disks normally have 512 bytes per sector. If ReadFile() doesn't
work for you you can use DeviceIOControl but it's a bit of a pig. Get
back to me if you need help with it.
