How to know what sector of the disk a file is using ?

Hi to all.


I was needing to make a recovery from a disk and came to me a question about 'and if I wanted to know what is the sector of the disk that a file is occuping, how could I do that ?'





Not that is needed for something specific but its simple possible ?


regards
