DETECTION_TYPE enumeration (ntdddisk.h)

  • Article

The DETECTION_TYPE enumeration type is used in conjunction with the IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX request and the DISK_GEOMETRY_EX structure to determine the type of formatting used by the BIOS to record the disk geometry.

Syntax

typedef enum _DETECTION_TYPE {
  DetectNone,
  DetectInt13,
  DetectExInt13
} DETECTION_TYPE;

Constants

 
DetectNone
Indicates that the disk contains neither an INT 13h partition nor an extended INT 13h partition.
DetectInt13
Indicates that the disk has a standard INT 13h partition.
DetectExInt13
Indicates that the disk contains an extended INT 13h partition.

Remarks

Possible formatting types are the standard INT 13h partition format or the extended INT 13h partition format.

Requirements

Requirement Value
Header ntdddisk.h (include Ntdddisk.h, Ntddk.h, Ntdddisk.h)
