Realise this is an old post, but I came across it looking - in the end I decided apon the below function as it sorted what I was doing at the time better than any of the above:

private static List SplitDirectory(DirectoryInfo parent)
{
    if (parent == null) return null;
    var rtn = new List();
    var di = parent;

    while (di.Name != di.Root.Name)
    {
    rtn.Add(new DirectoryInfo(di));
    di = di.Parent;
    }
    rtn.Add(new DirectoryInfo(di.Root));

    rtn.Reverse();
    return rtn;
}
