For various definitions of simple. I was just wondering if tools exist that abstract out a lot of the details. For example, I should not have work at the level of "... [multiplying] the start sector by the number of bytes per sector". I should be thinking about disks and partitions, or on an even more abstract level, about "containers", specifically, hierarchical containers. Disks contain partitions that contain filesystems that contain folders that contain files that contain data that contain bytes that contain bits. Putting a partition on a disk should be as straightforward as putting a file in a folder. By extension, there should be a mkdisk and mkpartition just like there is a mkfs, mkdir, or mkfile.
