Reading RAW Disc Sectors (Thursday, January 06, 2005)

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Reading RAW Disc Sectors by: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.

	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. Richard Rosenheim
