How to create file with help of P/Invoke to read boot sector and display .MBR?

I've browsed through the CreateFile documentation... still wondering how should I use P/Invoke to call CreateFile and to read the boot sector, to display out the .MBR?

Any reference code for this portion? Thank you in advance!

To expand on Baget's answer, you can call CreateFile like this:

hFile = CreateFile("\\\\.\\physicaldrive0", 
    GENERIC_READ | FILE_SHARE_READ,
    0,
    OPEN_EXISTING,
    0,
    0);

Maybe this question will help you

Basically you need to access a device using this syntax in the filename "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0"
