I want to do some fun low-level DiskInfo kind of program.
I can find how to do the basic stuff like logical drives,
file attributes, sizes, etc...

But I also want to get more in depth. How can I get to
info like physical drives, file system used, number of
file fragments, track size, file slack, etc... ?

Can anyone point me to a library, class, tutorial,
article, anything for doing some of these things in
C#/.Net ?

Thanks.
 
Low level disk IO is not possible using a managed language, this is a privilege of unmanaged languages like C, C++ using the DDK.
