http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcehardware5/html/wce50lrfioctl_hal_query_format_partition.asp

but i have error : "IOCTL_HAL_QUERY_FORMAT_PARTITION"": undeclared identifier

It's not in any library, you have to find it in the CE headers.

from pkfuncs.h, line 404:

#define IOCTL_HAL_QUERY_FORMAT_PARTITION CTL_CODE(FILE_DEVICE_HAL,
70, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS)

I'll let you find the others.
