but how can I convert from a Byte into those 8 bits?

• use the shift and AND operators:
  

  unsigned int getbit(BYTE byte, int bit){ return ( (byte >> bit) & 0x01; ) }

  
  It may be used as follows:
  

  void main()
    BYTE byte = 205; 
    cout << (int) mb.byte << " decimal is ";
    int i=8;
    while (i--)
    {
      cout << getbit(byte, i);
    }
    cout << " binary " << endl;
  }

• use the 'union trick', i.e.
  

  struct BitField
  {
    unsigned int bit0 : 1;
    unsigned int bit1 : 1;
    unsigned int bit2 : 1;
    unsigned int bit3 : 1;
    unsigned int bit4 : 1;
    unsigned int bit5 : 1;
    unsigned int bit6 : 1;
    unsigned int bit7 : 1;
  };
  union MyByte
  {
    BYTE byte;
    BitField bf;
  };

  
  That you may use this way:
  

  bool main()
  {
    MyByte mb;
    mb.byte = 205;
    cout << (int) mb.byte << " decimal is ";
    cout <<  mb.bf.bit7 <<  mb.bf.bit6 <<  mb.bf.bit5 <<  mb.bf.bit4 << mb.bf.bit3 << mb.bf.bit2 << mb.bf.bit1 << mb.bf.bit0;
    cout << " binary " << endl;
  }

BITMAPFILEHEADER bmpHeader;
BITMAPINFO bmpInfo;
FILE *fp = fopen("C:\\test.bmp","rb");
fread((char*)&bmpHeader,sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER),1,fp);
fread((char*)&bmpInfo,sizeof(BITMAPINFO),1,fp);

WORD bmpWidth = (WORD)bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth;
WORD bmpHeight = (WORD)bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight;

int counter=0;

fseek(fp,bmpHeader.bfOffBits,SEEK_SET);

BYTE *data = new BYTE[bmpWidth*bmpHeight];
// Read the pixels
while(!feof(fp))
{
  for(int i=0; i<bmpwidth;>  {
    if(!feof(fp))
    {
      fread((BYTE*)&data[counter], sizeof(BYTE), 1, fp);
      counter++;
    }
    else
    {
      break;
    }
  }
}
fclose(fp);

int bytesPerLine = Width / 8; // eight pixels per byte
if (Width % 8) bytesPerLine++; // take into account the reminder

// pad the line to make it to a 32-bit multiple
if (bytesPerLine % 4 ) bytesPerLine += 4 - (bytesPerLine % 4);

// finally you get the size
int iSize = bytesPerLine * Height;

• If you allocate memory of a given size don't trust any other counter (you're using EOF) while filling it: check always you're not exceeding the allocated size (in your code try to read until the allocated buffer is filled and not until the end of the file: if the file contains more bytes your application crashes).
• If you need to read a block, the read it directly, don't read a byte at time.
