Hi,

NO!
You need lowleves access to the disk, which isn't possible through VB.
Which programming language would you recommend?
Just to let you know before you walk into great trouble. Creating a deframgment is a very hard task, it requires intimit knowledge about the basic way both different OS's work and how harddisks operate. One mistake can rander an entire harddrive inaccessible.
So I'm sorry to say this, but if you don't even know, which laugauge you need to use inorder to get low-level access to a harddrive. Then creating a defragmenter, is properly not the task you should set out to do.
Well everyone's gotta start somewhere!! ;)
Know any sites where I could find out about all the stuff required?
Try searching on Google
Will do, thanks :)
I'm not bothered if I knacker any HDs really, I have loads of little 200MB ones lying around. :D
