IoCreateDisk function

Description

The IoCreateDisk routine initializes a raw disk by creating a new partition table.

Parameters

DeviceObject [in]

Specifies the DEVICE_OBJECT for the raw disk.

Disk [in, optional]

Pointer to a CREATE_DISK structure that specifies the type and parameters for the partition table. If Disk is NULL, the routine deletes the partition table on the disk.

Return value

Returns STATUS_SUCCESS on success, or the appropriate error code on failure.

Remarks

IoCreateDisk must only be used by disk drivers. Other drivers should use the IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK I/O request instead.
