VB6 Cannot achieve such low-level control which is required to write a fdisk clone.

You will need to use C/C++ , Assembly or any other Language.

As for retrieving Hard Disk Names go, it can be done in VB by using API Functions.

VB6 can do this and I have done it!
You can use Absolute Disk read/write access to create a partition table and then either format the volume at a low level using disk sector writes, or use FormatEX.
Search for my RMPrepUSB.exe and RMPartUSB.exe programs.
