Reading data from floppy!

[3MTA3]

How do you read/write data, from/to a floppy disk, which is located on any place on the disk?
I want to read and write data anywhere on the disk (not
files, but any sort of data), ignoring the FAT. I just want
to seek to a certain position on the disk and write or read
from it - bytewise(?).

If someone Still doesn't understand what I meen, then
imagine that I want to clear the entire disk, so that ALL
bits and bytes that EXIST on the disk are zeroed, how do I
do that?

Anyone?

Thanks!

A quick search for direct disk access delphi (via Google) gave me the following:

At

there is a freeware component TDiskIO v2.0. Try it...

Just a general word of advise: use the search engines before posting questions like this. It could save you considerable time! Cheers,
