This structure contains information about a partition.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  DWORD cbSize;
  TCHAR szPartitionName[PARTITIONNAMESIZE];
  TCHAR szFileSys[FILESYSNAMESIZE];
  TCHAR szVolumeName[VOLUMENAMESIZE];
  SECTORNUM snNumSectors;
  FILETIME ftCreated;
  FILETIME ftLastModified;
  DWORD dwAttributes;
  BYTE bPartType;
} PARTINFO, *PPARTINFO;

Members

• cbSize
  Set to sizeof(PARTINFO).

• szPartitionName
  Name of the partition. Maximum length is 32.

• szFileSys
  Name of the file system. Maximum length is 32.

• szVolumeName
  Name of the volume. This is the name that the partition has when mounted. You can use the volume name to correlate the mount points with partitions and stores. Mount points are subdirectories located after a backslash (\).

• snNumSectors
  Number of sectors in the partition.

• ftCreated
  Creation time of the partition.

• ftLastModified
  Last time the partition was modified.

• dwAttributes
  Partition attributes. The following are the possible values:

  • PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_AUTOFORMAT
  • PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_BOOT
  • PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_EXPENDABLE
  • PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTED
  • PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY

• bPartType
  [in] Partition type or identifier. Although this parameter is limited to 256 bytes, there are fewer supported file systems than partition types because a single file system can map to multiple partition types. Some partition types might have not have an associated file system. The following table shows possible values:

  Partition type	Description
  PART_DOS2_FAT	DOS partition.
  PART_DOS3_FAT	DOS partition.
  PART_DOS4_FAT	DOS partition.
  PART_DOS32	DOS partition (FAT32).
  PART_DOS32X13	Same as 0x0B, only use logical block addressing (LBA).
  PART_DOSX13	Same as 0x06, only use LBA.
  PART_DOSX13X	Same as 0x05, only use LBA.
  INVALID	Invalid or unused partition type.
  PART_UNKNOWN	Unknown partition type.
