i have a link to a disk programming tutorial. Hope you'll find it good (as i'm the one who wrote it ;D )

Considering filesystems, the best tutorial is perhaps to read how other filesystems work (FAT, EXT2FS, minix, etc) to see how they can deal with problems like sectors allocation, linking sectors together in order to make files and finally give name to files and organize them as a hierarchy of directories.
