The DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION structure provides information about a drive's partitions.

typedef struct _DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION { 
   DWORD  PartitionCount; 
   DWORD  Signature; 
   PARTITION_INFORMATION  PartitionEntry[1]; 
} DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION; 
 

Members

The number of partitions on the drive.
Signature
A drive signature value.
PartitionEntry
A variable-sized array of PARTITION_INFORMATION structures, one structure for each partition on the drive.

Remarks
