USB Storage [Boot Sector Read/Write Program WIN32]

Hello,

Yesterday I wrote a small program to modify the Boot Sector for USB pens.
The Boot Sector can be Dumped to a file, or writen to from a file.
The Boot Sector can also be viewed in Hex layout for quick analysis.

The source is included as well as the program and can be downloaded from the URL below:
Its was writen on a Windows 7 pc and has been tested with Windows XP also.
http://www.dex4u.com/Pantheon/BootSector.zip

With Admin rights the Boot sector of Hard Drives can also be modified in the same way.

If you try out this program please give me some feedback that I can incorporate into a later version.
Feature requests are also welcome.

Sorry for the RapidShare link, I dont have any webspace yet :)

Thanks

Sounds like a neat little program. But of course, just when you release your program, I lost my USB stick #-o .

Anyway, this should probably be moved to Announcements.

I tested my code today with some of the 512byte competition entrys and it
is working well. The snake game is awesome :D

I'll try and make an update soon when I can preserve/modify FAT information
correctly.
