    How could I read and write individual sectors in C#?

    This seems like a typical thing for C++/ASM, but maybe you could do it by using the unsafe keyword of C# too... never done it though, but C++ or ASM seems to be a better language to do this kinda low-level things..

    I think it can be done using CreateFile API function on NT based systems, so I was just wondering if it is possible to use similar way in .NET

    No, only through PInvoking the appropriate Win32 API's.
