Scanning hard drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi,

I am writing an app that scans hard drives and logs info
about every fine on the drive.

The first iteration of my code used a class and a generic list
to store the data and rhis took 13min on my 60 GB drive.

I wanted it to be quicker.

So the second time I changed the class to a struct and still
with the generic list got the time down to 4 min.

I am wondering if I can improve on this even more??

Anyone know if it would be possible to improve this
using C# or would it need to be wrritten in assembler or the like?
