Hi List

Previously Windows disks could be described as "Removable".  With XP this control has 
vanished.  When a disk in a device attrached to the PC is shared so that XP can scan 
the disk as well (via SCSI in this case), there are dangers associated with initiating 
read and write operations on the hard drive from XP, because XP does not guarantee 
that the write buffers will be committed to disk instantly.

I need therefore to write a .net "Explorer-like" app that reverses this effect, and 
guarantees that read and write operations are complete, leaving the disk's FAT table 
up to date, so that disk sharing can continue without any errors being introduced.

I would welcome any ideas as to how you think I could achieve this.

with kind regards
DD.
