Windows NT restricts fixed disk access to Administrators. These are the
\\.\PhysicalDrive# and \\.\X: devices. However, there are SCSI port devices
that are not restricted, the \\.\SCSI#: devices.

I noticed that ASPI based benchmarks could be run by anyone. ASPI opens the
SCSI device and can do disk IO using SCSI commands. Examples are Adaptec
SCSI Bench and asbnch32 from www.winimage.com. The latter includes source,
which could be modified to edit disks.

Note that fixing the SCSI device permissions will disable all CD burning
software and other ASPI utilities for non admins. Oh, EIDE drives can also
be accessed through the ATAPI miniport.
