CREATE_DISK_GPT structure

Contains information used by the IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK control code to initialize GUID partition table (GPT) disks.

Syntax

C++
Copy 

typedef struct {
  GUID  DiskId;
  DWORD MaxPartitionCount;

Members

The disk identifier (GUID) of the GPT disk to be initialized.

MaxPartitionCount

The maximum number of partitions allowed on the GPT disk to be initialized without repartitioning the disk.
