I am working on a project where I need to access some specific addresses of a USB drive (e.g. sector 0), and change some bytes. I have done some parts with C# already that includes user interface, detection of USB drives etc. Can anybody help me providing some links so that I can access specific addresses of USB drives with .NET?
The Framework doesn’t support this. If you attempt to create a FileStream on a device it will throw an exception. You will have to use the Windows API methods directly (p/invoke CreateFile, DeviceIoControl, etc). Make sure you read the section on Physical Disks and Volumes here:
