Could you build this?

Partial Calling the Windows Storage Management API via C#/.NET is tractable, but safely altering partition tables and resizing disks carries severe data loss risks requiring deep low-level OS storage knowledge and rigorous edge-case testing.

What it would actually take: The software relies on .NET/WPF consuming the Windows Storage Management WMI/COM APIs (MSFT_Disk, MSFT_Partition, MSFT_Volume) or low-level Win32 IOCTL calls. The hard part is transactional safety, preventing corruption during shrink/grow operations across diverse filesystem layouts (NTFS, FAT32, BitLocker locks), requiring deep systems engineering and comprehensive virtualization test matrices.
