SetQualifiedPartitionDeviceElement method of the BcdObject class
Sets a qualified boot partition device.
Syntax
boolean SetQualifiedPartitionDeviceElement(
[in] ULONG Type,
[in] ULONG PartitionStyle,
[in] PCWSTR DiskSignature,
[in] PCWSTR PartitionIdentifier
);
Parameters
-
Type [in]
-
The element type. This parameter is one of the values from the following enumerations:
- BcdBootMgrElementTypes
- BcdDeviceObjectElementTypes
- BcdLibraryElementTypes
- BcdMemDiagElementTypes
- BcdOSLoaderElementTypes
It can also be a custom element type created for your own use.
-
PartitionStyle [in]
-
The partition style. This property can be one of the following values.
Value Meaning - GPT
- 1
The partition is described in a GUID partition table (GPT). - MBR
- 0
The partition is described in a master boot record (MBR). -
DiskSignature [in]
-
If the PartitionStyle parameter is GPT, the DiskSignature parameter is the disk signature as a GUID in string format (for example, "{7c69a706-eda5-11dd-bc09-001e4ce28b8f}"). If the PartitionStyle parameter is MBR, the DiskSignature parameter is the decimal MBR disk signature in string format (for example, "402653184" for 0x18000000).
-
PartitionIdentifier [in]
-
If the PartitionStyle parameter is GPT, the PartitionIdentifier parameter is the partition signature as a GUID in string format (for example, "{6efb52bf-1766-41db-a6b3-0ee5eff72bd7}" ). If the PartitionStyle parameter is MBR, the PartitionIdentifier parameter is the decimal MBR partition offset in string format (for example, "82837504" for 0x4F00000).
Remarks
The BcdDeviceQualifiedPartitionData data type uniquely identifies a boot partition device by its type, disk signature, and partition identifier. An application can enumerate a qualified partition by using the GetElementWithFlags method with the Flags parameter set to Qualified (1).
