hello everybody
I require in my program to find used and unused clusters information
of FAT32 and NTFS for windows 98,Me
I am able to get this by using FSCTL_GET_VOLUME_BITMAP for windows2000/xp
do FSCTL_GET_VOLUME_BITMAP works for windows 98/Me.
If not then how the defragmenting tools for windows 98/Me get the
information of used and unused cluster information of the drives.
i am really stuck up at this point.
do help me

No.

They understand the format of the FAT file system and parse it directly
to find allocated clusters. The FAT32 specs are available from MS at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/fatgen.mspx
Windows 98/Me does not support defragmentation of the unlocked volumes.
Also it does not support any filesystems other then FAT, and the FAT layout is
well-known, so, you can write your own parser.
