This function scans a volume for errors in the FAT and directories, and for lost clusters.

Syntax

DWORD ScanVolumeEx(
  HANDLE hVolume,
  PSCAN_PARAMS psp,
);

Parameters

  • hVolume
    [in] Handle to disk or partition. Call the CreateFile function to obtain a handle to the volume.
  • pdp
    [in, out] Pointer to a SCAN_PARAMS structure used to pass in parameters and receive results of the scan.

Remarks

To obtain results of a scan, use the correct type of handle. For example, if the store to be scanned is partitioned, use a handle to the partition. If the store is not partitioned, use a disk handle.

If the scan completes, this function returns the scan results through the SCAN_RESULTS structure embedded in the SCAN_PARAMS structure.
