Re: Could I get any code to get all files in root-directory (in FAT32)?

Hmm.. But I don't need Win32 API.
I'm reading FAT32 Partition.

Like the other responders pointed out, standard Win32 API will
read any file system (including network drives, CD/DVD, whatever).

The only reason to say "I don't need Win32 API" and to care about
FAT is if you don't develop a Windows application.
Even DOS applications don't need to know about file system
structure (I can point you to the int 21h functions used
to enumerate files)

so, if you want to avoid even DOS level, you should learn the
structure of the FAT16/FAT32 file system, start with low level
disk access and do all the work.

But then microsoft.public.vc.mfc is not the right place to ask
questions (there is no MFC for DOS :-)
