HOW TO READ A SECTOR AND WRITE TO ANOTHER SECTOR IN VB.NET

To access a hard drive's sector level, you need to use low level API.

Basically, the two functions you will need here will be something like that:

Private Function ReadHDBytes (ByVal ByteCount As Long, ByRef DataBytes () As Byte, ByRef ActuallyReadByte As Long) As Boolean
Dim RetVal As Long
RetVal = ReadFile (hDisk, DataBytes (0), ByteCount, ActuallyReadByte, 0)

ReadHDBytes = Not (RetVal = 0)

End Function

Private Function WriteHDBytes (ByVal ByteCount As Long, ByRef DataBytes () As Byte) As Boolean
Dim RetVal As Long
Dim BytesToWrite As Long
Dim BytesWritten As Long

RetVal = WriteFile (hDisk, DataBytes (0), ByteCount, BytesWritten, 0)

WriteHDBytes = Not (RetVal = 0)
End Function

Before being able to call these functions, you must add the following lines of code in order to access Win32 API from VB.

Private Declare Function CreateFile Lib "kernel32" Alias "CreateFileA" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, ByVal dwShareMode As Long, lpSecurityAttributes As Long, ByVal dwCreationDisposition As Long, ByVal dwFlagsAndAttributes As Long, ByVal hTemplateFile As Long) As Long

Of course, this is not a complete solution, but only to give you some directions to continue from here.
