Question : Problem: CDROM Information

how could i programmaticaly determine number of cylinders, tracks and sectors/track in a data CD in DOS?

Answer : Problem: CDROM Information

One head, one track, 80 sectors per track ;-)

A CD disc is recorded as one solid spiral of data around the CD. It is not divided into tracks and sectors like a hard drive is, so I'm not sure what you're looking for.

http://www.lanet.lv/ftp/simtelnet/msdos/cdrom/cdromcmd.zip has some source code for communicating with cd's in dos and a fairly good threa of discussion about basic CD commands.
