I want to determine which sectors a file occupies on an HDD. I want to know if a file is split into different non-sequential sectors.
Is there any way to do this on Windows 10?
The ideal solution would be to have a map of all the sectors of a hard drive and then, after selecting a file, it will mark or color all the sectors this file occupies.
1Just a note that SSDs store data differently and often "hide" the real sectors the files exist on from the OS as the drive controllers work to maintain wear leveling and other features of the drive. – music2myear – 2019-10-19T01:49:05.810
