Initialzing disk

Hi All,

I am trying to initialize the disk in windows using IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK and them i am creating partitions. but when i use the IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK it is not creating any bootstrap code so i am not able to use this disk as boot disk. is there any API IOCTL to force create bootstrap code ?

regards,
VIjay

you need to write MBR from sector 0-510 +2 for signature.

No api for writing mbr to raw disk.

Hope this may help.

You can use bootsect.exe or write the pre-saved MBR to disk using a write handle.
