Reading RAW Disc Sectors

[Chris Shikenjanski]

I am wondering if there is any way with a .NET language
(preferably VB .NET) to read RAW sectors from a disc such
as a CD-ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Untested: P/invoke on 'DeviceIOControl'.

I'm not sure how they are doing it, but PowerQuest (now part of Symantec) is
apparently doing it in their V2i Protector backup problem.

My understanding is that the program is (a) a .Net program, and (b) does a
sector backup.
