Problem in raw reading hard disk sector

Hi All
I am working on QT for Mac.
I have problem in reading hard disk sector.I am sending my program Which i am using to read the hard disk sector. I am reading the hard disk sector in a buffer and then write this buffer in a file.
i am also sending two Doc files which i created. one of which contents is readed by my program which i seen through HexEdit and other one is actual written on that sector on the hard disk. i have seen that particular hard disk sector by Winhex on windows and i also conformed this by using DiskEditor.

But my program is not reading what is actually written on that particular sector.
Plz help me giving code example how i can sought out this problem.


Thanks and regards

RE: Problem in raw reading hard disk sector

Reading harddisk sectors really isn't very platform independent. Since Qt's main purpose is to be a cross platform toolkit, it isn't really well suited for such tasks. Instead, use the open/seek/read calls available from the BSD core of OSX, and then present the information using Qt.
