Formats the specified set of contiguous tracks on the disk.
The buffer at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer contains the FORMAT_PARAMETERS data. Parameters.DeviceIoControl.InputBufferLength in the I/O stack location of the IRP indicates the size, in bytes, of the buffer.
Parameters.DeviceIoControl.InputBufferLength in the I/O stack location of the IRP indicates the size, in bytes, of the buffer.
The device driver returns an array of BAD_TRACK_NUMBER values to the buffer at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.
Length of the buffer.
The Information field is set to the size of the returned bad-track array when the Status field is set to STATUS_SUCCESS. Otherwise, the Information field is zero and the Status field possibly can be set to STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER or STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED if the media is removable.
Formats a specified, contiguous set of tracks on a floppy disk. To provide additional parameters, use IOCTL_DISK_FORMAT_TRACKS_EX instead.
To perform this operation, call the DeviceIoControl function with the following parameters.
BOOL DeviceIoControl(
(HANDLE) hDevice, // handle to device
IOCTL_DISK_FORMAT_TRACKS, // dwIoControlCode
(LPVOID) lpInBuffer, // input buffer
(DWORD) nInBufferSize, // size of input buffer
(LPVOID) lpOutBuffer, // output buffer
(DWORD) nOutBufferSize, // size of output buffer
(LPDWORD) lpBytesReturned, // number of bytes returned
(LPOVERLAPPED) lpOverlapped // OVERLAPPED structure
);
Irp->IoStatus.Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS if the request is successful.
Otherwise, Status to the appropriate error condition as a NTSTATUS code.
