Is it possible to access a disk partition other than the one the program in question is located on? If so, any tips on how to do it? Would it need to be done in a sufficiently low level language like assembly? If not, how would one do it with another, say C++? Thanks.

I assume it is possible but I couldn't find anything for it in C++. I did find this but it was for iPODS: Ulta Low Level Hard Drive Access: - C++

I couldn't find any information either. I would start by working with the Low Level hard drive functions and see if there are any methods beyond that for access. Partition Magic does it so it can be done.
