Dear Sir:

I use below steps to create new logical disk, but something
wrong.

(1)use DeviceIoControl:IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY to
get physical disk size and Bytes per Sector in disk.

(2)use DeviceIoControl:IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK$B!"(B
DeviceIoControl:IOCTL_DISK_UPDATE_PROPERTIES$B!"(B
DeviceIoControl:IOCTL_DISK_SET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX to
partition disk.( below code )

(3) after partitioning, use "format.com" in WinXP to
format disk.

But I found the step for partition can fail. I can't
use NTFS format to parition and if I use FAT32 format
to do, it would happen wrong partition disk to reboot
pc. For example, in one physical disk:30G, after
partitioning, it will shows 3 parts(27.5G,2G,27.G)
and no logical drivers created.

Could anyone tell me what's wrong with my code and
how to modify it? And How to improve the speed of
format?

You cuold use DISKPART utility (at least, on Win2003 - not sure about XP) -
to create partitions, for example.

Dear Boris:

I can't use other tools to create partition and format.
I need to both procedures in my code.

I also try to use below code to format, and it failed when
running command FormatEx.

What's wrong with this code?

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

TCHAR strWinSysDir[MAX_PATH],szDest[MAX_PATH];
HMODULE hK32lib;
PWCHAR Label = L"";
PWCHAR Format = L"FAT32";
BOOL bResult = TRUE;

GetSystemDirectory(strWinSysDir,MAX_PATH);//get c:\Windows\System32

_tcscpy_s (szDest,MAX_PATH,strWinSysDir);
_tcscat_s(szDest, MAX_PATH, _T("\\fmifs.dll"));

hK32lib = LoadLibrary( szDest );

if( !(FormatEx = (PFORMATEX)
GetProcAddress( GetModuleHandle( "fmifs.dll"),"FormatEx" )) ) {
return FALSE;
}

FormatEx((PWCHAR)cDrive, FMIFS_HARDDISK, Format, Label, TRUE,
512, FormatExCallback);

FreeLibrary(hK32lib);

BOOLEAN __stdcall FormatExCallback( CALLBACKCOMMAND Command, DWORD
Modifier, PVOID Argument )
{
PDWORD percent;
PTEXTOUTPUT output;
PBOOLEAN status;

switch( Command ) {

case PROGRESS:
percent = (PDWORD) Argument;
//_tprintf(L"%d percent completed.\r", *percent);
break;

case OUTPUT:
output = (PTEXTOUTPUT) Argument;
//fprintf(stdout, "%s", output->Output);
break;

case DONE:
status = (PBOOLEAN) Argument;
if( *status == FALSE ) {
//_tprintf(L"FormatEx was unable to complete successfully.\n\n");
}
break;
}
return TRUE;
}

I found the failed probability of partition and format is 5%
When failed to partition, the PC would crash and reboot.
The minidump file records the ftdisk.sys happens error.

I tried to modify code to do(below code),
but I don't know where is wrong.

Does anyone help me????
