PARTENTRY (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This structure is a single partition entry in the on-disk partition table that is part of the master boot record (MBR). One PARTENTRY structure exists for each partition, one of which can be an extended partition. The MBR can contain up to 4 PARTENTRY structures.

Syntax

typedef struct _PARTENTRY { 
  BYTE Part_BootInd;
  BYTE Part_FirstHead;
  BYTE Part_FirstSector;
  BYTE Part_FirstTrack;
  BYTE Part_FileSystem;
  BYTE Part_LastHead; 
  BYTE Part_LastSector;
  BYTE Part_LastTrack;
  DWORD Part_StartSector;
  DWORD Part_TotalSectors;
} PARTENTRY;
