I am writing a program that needs to read/write to blocks on a floppy disk. I am using two functions (written by someone else) that are defined as follows:


Code:


I am making a call to ReadBlock() as follows:
Code:




My problem is that when I compile I get the following error:

Code:





Not having very much experience with BYTE streams I am just treating them like char arrays. My questions are:
1-Am I right to think of BYTE arrays as being similar to char arrays?
2-(more importantly)How am I supposed to properly send in a BYTE array to this function? Do I need to create the BYTE array on the heap possibly?

Anyways, thanks in advance for any help.

Try to remember that arrays are pointers already, and thus you shouldn't need to pass the address of your variable to the function..

Try something like:


I hope that helps a bit..

BYTE record_stream[512];
ReadBlock(some_index,&record_stream,1);
Bur record_stream must be record_stream[255] try. Byte's maximum size is 255. I mean You can not use longer than 255 Length. Good luck
