Open Drive/Partition dialog

Using this dialog you can open a hard disk, a floppy disk or a CD Rom sector by sector in an hex editor window. This dialog is opened when issuing the "File/Disk/Open Drive" command. (Windows NT/2000/XP only, you might need administrative privileges to gain direct access to drives)

1. Drive and Partition List: This list shows the drives and partitions that can be opened in an hex editor window. Hard drives are named "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE<number>", where number is the system index of the physical drive (drive numbers are zero-based, partition numbers are one-based). CD Roms are called "\\.\CDROM<number>", floppy disks are displayed using the drive letter. CD Roms and floppy disks are not shown if no medium is inserted.
2. Load Sectors At A Time: This control allows you to display a consecutive sequence of disk sectors at once in the hex editor window.
3. OK: Open the drive or partition selected in the list above in a new editor window
4. Cancel: Close the dialog without opening a drive/partition
5. Help: Show this help topic
6. Reload: Rebuild the list of available drives/partitions and removeable media
7. Set As Default: Set the currently selected amount of sectors as default value for this dialog
