What does your boss think he will achieve by writing to these? There is a
high probability of making the data on the disk unusable. Tell us what the
goal is here and then a safe solution may suggest itself.

CreateFile("A:\\");
CreateFile("PhysicalDisk0"); (see Docu of CreateFile)

and then WriteFile
