If you're targeting the FAT32 file system, then I think (but don't call me on this) that there's some form of backup built in to the file system. Alternatively, start from sector 0 of the disk, and walk the clusters until you find a file which isn't in the file system's list of file pointers Either way, this is too advanced for VB.Net alone. You would need a hook of some sort into C++, and use the windows api from there
