First, are you using a DOS formatted Hard disk? Did you successfully 
mount it in RTEMS?

When you created the file, did you create it as /dev/hda1/abc.txt


After performing the write, do a listing of the directory /dev/hda1

as there have been issue regarding flushing the file to the actual disk.

It will be on the root of the hard drive
