You will get an IO exception:
The
System.IOlibrary handles the actual tasks of reading and writing to disk and wraps them in managed code, so you shouldn’t get any unmanaged exceptions using them.It’s also worth trying this (with one of those shoddy small USB sticks they give out everywhere) to see what happens with your code – that’s usually the best way of finding out this sort of thing.
