help with file server app

I have been asked to design a file server application. Here are the
particulars:

The data that is to be served is on a 80Gbyte USB drive connected to a USB
2.0 port.

That disk needs to be used by 2 applications. One archives the disk data to
another drive, the other does timed seeks extracting 2Mbyte chunks.

Now the cruxt of the juxtaposition: The USB drive is only low-level
formatted. I am accessing it with WriteFiles and ReadFiles.
Any ideas?

I think we need more information on what exactly you're trying to do.
What application writes the data? Is the archiving real-time (like a
mirror)? What kind of synchronization is required? Where are you
running into problems?

Hello All, I'd like your comments on the code below. The sub does exactly what I want it to do but I don't feel that it is solid as all. It seems like I'm using some VB6 code, .Net2003 code, and .Net2005 code. I'm developing in vb.net 2005. This test sub just reads an input text file, writing out records to another text file, eliminating records that have a '99' in them (it is similar to a CSV file). Some of my concerns are:
