adamxp Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Need some help importing the Dllcalls to get the partition type and set the partition type. I already have a function to get the correct volume ID that requires the change, but need an example how how to use the deviceiocontrol. IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO_EX http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365180(v=VS.85).aspx IOCTL_DISK_SET_PARTITION_INFO_EX http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365191(v=VS.85).aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 This does some partition processing. Maybe a good starting point.

adamxp Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 This does some partition processing. Maybe a good starting point.Thanks water, I did check out that project already but the project is abandoned?? (no update since 07) and no longer works. Also the XP (vista/server 08/Windows 7 do) version of diskpart does not have the set id command required to change the partition type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Another thing to try is the WinAPIEx UDF. It contains some _WinAPI_GetDrive* functions that - at least - show how to call the DeviceIoControl API.

water Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I've never done this before - I'm just searching the forum. But this thread is reading the MBR.

adamxp Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) I've never done this before - I'm just searching the forum. But this thread is reading the MBR.Got the code working by making these changes:Local Const $tagPARTITION_INFORMATION_MBR = "uint PartitionType;ubyte BootIndicator;ubyte RecognizedPartition;uint HiddenSectors;"ConsoleWrite(@TAB & "PartitionType: " & "0x" & Hex(DllStructGetData($tPIX, "PartitionType"),2) & @CRLF)Thanks for the help Edited May 20, 2010 by adamxp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
