How can I create a file starting at a specific sector on the disk in Windows? Any programming language is acceptable. If it matters, the file system I am interested in is NTFS.

You cannot create a file at a specific sector, but once you’ve created a file you can move it using the FSCTL_MOVE_FILE IO control code. There’s no guarantee that it won’t be moved again later on, though.
