Return StreamReader to Beginning

Question

I\'m reading a file in line-by-line and I want to be able to restart the read by calling a method Rewind().

How can I manipulate my System.IO.Stre

public static void removeDuplicatedLinesBigFile2(string inFile, string outFile)
{
    int counter1 = 0, counter2 = 0;
    string line1, line2;
    bool band = false;

    // Read the file and display it line by line.  
    System.IO.StreamReader fileIN1 = new System.IO.StreamReader(inFile);
    System.IO.StreamReader fileIN2 = new System.IO.StreamReader(inFile);
    System.IO.StreamWriter fileOut = new System.IO.StreamWriter(outFile);

    while ((line1 = fileIN1.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        //band = false;
        int counter = 0;
        fileIN2.BaseStream.Position = 0;
        fileIN2.DiscardBufferedData();

        while ((line2 = fileIN2.ReadLine()) != null)
        {                   
            if (line1.Equals(line2))
                counter++;

            if (counter > 1)
                break;
        }

        fileOut.WriteLine(line1);
        counter1++;
    }

    fileIN1.Close();
    fileIN2.Close();
    Console.WriteLine("Total Text Rows Copied: {0}", counter1);
}
