Logical drive copying using CreateFile

Hi,

In the following code i am copying the contents of logical drive F to G
and then after that, from G to H.

After the program execution completes, the contents of the drives g and
h are not updated in windows explorer, even after pressing F5.

If I executed chkdsk on G and H drives the content sync up with that of F.
This problem is reproducable on NTFS but is not there on FAT32 partitions.

Please suggest the reason and a possible solution to fix this problem.

I have tried this program on 400 MB drives but the problem is reproducable
on any sizes.

Thanks in Anticipation.

hiii


I'm new comer to this website...

This is the solution to your problem..Here I created 2 NTFS partitions mannually.(2 gb )size..Source is filled almost fully and destination is empty...And hare I atke the buffer as 50 mb ,because I want high sppedd.In your program i found it as 1024bytes.

Ok work it out and reply to me...


And my problem I want high speed....And Presently I'm copying all clusters secotrss...Not checking whether they are used or nott....

And somebody said that use "FSCTL_GET_VOLUME_BITMAP" that will returns the cluster usage details of a particular volumee...


Here I wanna get the used cluser only for copy process... If u know how to do that one please help mee...


And the source code for your problrm is here
