    Faster way to read the raw data on disk/drive

    I wonder if there are any faster ways to read the raw data on disk/drive under Windows.

    Currently I am using Windows API CreateFile:

    CreateFile("\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2", ...)

    and

    CreateFile(\\.\C:,...)

    to read the raw data on disk or drive. But I want to find a faster way

    Can you use file mapping to view raw data? I've used this before to speed up general file usage speeds, not raw data though...?
