Hi,

I try to create partitions on a hard drive using
IOCTL_DISK_SET_DRIVE_LAYOUT. It works fine but the newly created
partitions are not formated, how can I format them?

thanks in advance

Executing “format g:” by a CreateProcess call is one of the best ways.
Otherwise, you will need to write all filesystem structures to the partition
yourself.
