you could determine the number of sectors of the disk, get through the |
| 14 |
current partition table and fetch all first and last sectors of |
| 15 |
partitions, calculate the sum of each partitions sectors, substract it |
| 16 |
from the total number of sectors and voila: you get the unused sectors. |

|
| 18 |
one sector represents 512 Byte. |
