Hard disk data access method and system

The present invention relates to a data access method and system, and more particularly to a hard disk data access method and system.

A conventional hard disk generally divides a magnetic track into 512 Bytes to obtain a magnetic region, so the storage capacity of each magnetic region is 512 Bytes. At present, many kinds of hard disks with a magnetic storage capacity of less than 512 bytes have been gradually introduced, such as a hard disk with a storage capacity of 520 Bytes, a hard disk with a magnetic storage capacity of 4096 Bytes, and the like. Due to the compatibility problem, some operating systems, such as Windows XP and Linux, do not have a hard disk storage driver with a magnetic storage capacity of 512 Bytes. Therefore, these operating systems do not support a storage capacity of 512 Bytes. Data access to the hard drive. Although the driver corresponding to the hard disk in the modified operating system can realize the data access of the hard disk whose magnetic storage capacity is not 512 Byte, as the hard disk is more and more due to the different storage capacity of the magnetic area, the hard disk is modified. The driver corresponding to the disc also makes it difficult for the operating system to support data access to all types of hard drives.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a hard disk access method and system, which can use the first hard disk whose magnetic storage capacity is a preset value (such as 512 Byte) as a data transfer station, so that the operating system does not store the magnetic area. Data access for the second hard disk of the preset value.

A method for accessing a hard disk data, comprising the steps of: establishing a second hard disk root directory in a first hard disk whose storage capacity of the computer is a preset value, and storing the capacity in the magnetic area is not the same a second hard disk of a preset value is used to establish a record table for recording a storage area of each data in the second hard disk; and a second hard disk data access step: when the user is to the second hard disk When storing data, accessing data or deleting data in the root directory, the first hard disk is used as a data transfer station to store the data to the second hard disk, or to access the data from the second hard disk or delete the data. The information.

A hard disk data access system includes: a module for establishing a second hard disk root directory in a first hard disk with a predetermined storage value of a magnetic area of the computer, and the storage capacity in the magnetic area is not a second hard disk of the preset value is used to establish a record table for recording a storage area of each data in the second hard disk; and a second hard disk data access module for when the user When the second hard disk root directory stores data, accesses data, or deletes the data, the first hard disk is used as a data transfer station to store the data to the second hard disk or access the second hard disk. The information or delete the information.

Compared with the prior art, the hard disk access method and system of the present invention can use the first hard disk whose magnetic area storage capacity is a preset value (for example, 512 Byte) as a data transfer station, and realize the operating system to the magnetic area storage capacity. Data access of the second hard disk that is not the preset value.

Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown an operating environment diagram of a preferred embodiment of the hard disk data access system of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the hard disk data access system 10 is applied to a computer 100. The computer 100 includes a first hard disk having a magnetic area storage capacity of 512 bytes (hereinafter referred to as "512 hard disk". 1), and a second hard disk (hereinafter referred to as "non-512 hard disk") 2 whose magnetic storage capacity is not 512 Bytes. The 512 hard disk 1 is communicatively coupled to the non-512 hard disk 2.

The hard disk data access system 10 is stored in the 512 hard disk 1. The operating system 11 is also installed in the 512 hard disk 1. The operating system 11 has a driver corresponding to 512 hard disk 1, which enables the operating system 11 to access data in the 512 hard disk 1. At the same time, since there is no driver corresponding to the non-512 hard disk 2 in the operating system 11, the operating system 11 cannot directly access the data in the non-512 hard disk 2. The information is a catalog or an archive. The directory is a tree structure, that is, the parent directory can contain subdirectories, and the subdirectories can contain files. The file can be audio, text documents, videos, and the like.

A non-512 hard disk root directory 12 (or a second hard disk root directory 12) is created in the 512 hard disk 1. The non-512 hard disk root directory 12 is a corresponding window of the non-512 hard disk 2, that is, viewed by the user. Come, non-512 hard disk 2 is a folder in 512 hard disk 1, that is, non-512 hard disk root directory 12. If the user stores the data in the non-512 hard disk root directory 12, it means that the user wishes to store the data in the non-512 hard disk 2.

The hard disk data access system 10 is configured to establish the non-512 hard disk root directory 12, and when the user accesses the data to the non-512 hard disk root directory 12, the data is transferred by using the 512 hard disk 1 as a data transfer station. Save it to non-512 hard disk 2 or read it from non-512 hard disk 2.

The initial content of the record table 20 is empty. Since the non-512 hard disk 2 stores the data in a chain storage manner, one data may be stored in a plurality of storage areas of the non-512 hard disk 2, and the record table 20 is used to record the respective data in the non-512 hard disk 2 storage. The start and end addresses of the area.

Referring to FIG. 3, an example diagram of the record table 20 is shown. The storage area of the directory A in the non-512 hard disk 2 is recorded in the record table 20. The directory A contains an archive a, which is stored in two storage areas of the non-512 hard disk 2. The first storage area has a starting address of **00 and a termination address of **01. The starting address of the second storage area is **05 and the ending address is **07.
