File.Copy using \\?\Volume{guid} syntax throws not ready error

[EricZimmerman]

I am trying to copy files off an NTFS volume using the following syntax:

File.Copy(@"\?\Volume{2b0bf6a2-b2fb-4893-872a-5e4b19072ee2}\Users\e\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent!ForDDrive.lnk",@"C:\temp\1.lnk",CopyOptions.None)

but am always getting an exception about the device not being ready:

(21) The device is not ready: [\?\Volume{2b0bf6a2-b2fb-4893-872a-5e4b19072ee2}]

yet, if i navigate to that folder in Windows, i see a directory listing with the files, etc:

\?\Volume{2b0bf6a2-b2fb-4893-872a-5e4b19072ee2}\Users\e\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

i have used this same path with other parts of AlphaFS and it works fine, so not sure why this is not working. i tried using PathFormat options too and it still did the same thing.

i looked at the unit test example to access things via shadow copies that uses GLOBALROOT to see if that shed any light on things, but it did not.

based on the stack, i think the issue is with the call to Directory.ExistsDrive.cs on line 76 as i had to use a different approach earlier in my project. if you do just Directory.Exists, it works, but the ExistsDrive thing explodes.
