Thanks, both replies were swift and helpful. I believe I can get started with
this, at least enough to break a drive or two :-)
One last thing though, if someone could point me to the documentation on the
Windows APIs that guy's wrapper is calling it would help me understand what
I'm doing. I've been searching blind up to this point, not knowing what to
type into google or whatever. Even just name for the component of Windows
this is part of or the API being used would be almost as helpful as the
documents themselves.
Again thank you, I've never had such timely and to-the-point replies on any
forum, newsgroup, mailing list, you name it (experts-exchange.com - get outta
here!). I think I will begin to frequent this list and will even try to shed
some light on the areas of .NET I've played with. I'm loving the new language
and API so much that I'm dabbling with things all over the place - right now
I've got a little app checking to see if I have any duplicate pictures in my
porn collection, and once that's finished running it will be time to get back
into the DVD->WMV ripper. I guess Microsoft probably didn't have this sort of
thing in mind when they invented a whole new application framework but hey,
cheers to them and I'm learning APIs fast! Maybe I'll write something useful
one day. :-)

is there any way to access the logical blocks on an ntfs volume from within
.NET? i'm thinking about starting a disk defragger project and want to know
where to get started. of course i have a long way to go before i can move
blocks around and end up with a drive that still has valid NTFS data on it
