The PARTITION_INFORMATION structure provides information about a disk partition.
typedef struct _PARTITION_INFORMATION { LARGE_INTEGER StartingOffset; LARGE_INTEGER PartitionLength; DWORD HiddenSectors; DWORD PartitionNumber; BYTE PartitionType; BOOLEAN BootIndicator; BOOLEAN RecognizedPartition; BOOLEAN RewritePartition; } PARTITION_INFORMATION, *PPARTITION_INFORMATION;

The DeviceIoControl function receives a PARTITION_INFORMATION structure in response to an IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO or IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT control code. The DeviceIoControl function uses a PARTITION_INFORMATION structure as input to an IOCTL_DISK_SET_DRIVE_LAYOUT control code.
Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later.
Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
Header: Declared in Winioctl.h.
