Access Hard drive blocks directly

    I want to plug an unformatted hard drive into a system, and be able to read / write directly to blocks. Has anyone tried anything like this?? If so, what language would you recommend, or what libraries should I be looking at?? As long as its not formatted, I don't think windows security will get in the way.

    I don't think any operating system can read/write the data without formatting it.
