      Read up on CreateFile[^]. I think the section you're interested in is about half way down, under "Physical Disks and Volumes". There is no ".NET way" to do this. You have to P/Invoke the Win32 functions directly to accomplish this. There an article here [^]on CP about it, but it's not written very well. and a quick Google for "read disk sectors vb.net" comes up with these[^].
