I just reorganized my code & came up with the following structure & it works like a charm. But I'm still having trouble creating a file inside the block device using the
method. Could you please point me from where I could get started. I want to simulate the working of the real os File Manager,which does it at the sector's level when writing a file to the disk. So I was wondering how could I use the above write method to achieve this. Could you please advice me on this as how may I proceed ?. Will I need to maintain a FAT like table when creating files so I could know in which sectors of the virtual hard disk the file is stored ?.
