Creating a partition programmatically
Walter
When you create a logical partition inside an extended partition (e.g. using
diskpart) on Windows 7 the following german message box will be displayed,
which looks like::
„Sie müssen den Datenträger in Laufwerk E: formatieren, bevor Sie ihn
verwenden können. Möchten Sie ihn formatieren?“
Approx. Translation: "Sie müssen den Datenträger in Laufwerk E: formatieren,
bevor Sie ihn verwenden können." = "You must format the volume in drive E:
before you can use it"
"Möchten Sie ihn formatieren?" = "Do you want to format it?"
Questions: Is there a way to suppress this message box? Is there a method to
programmatically create a partition that does not pop up message boxes?

Hi Walter,
before i will explain everthing in detail, have
a look at this post on sysinternals and then
you can figure the rest out by reading regarding
information on MSDN and www:
http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3029
Good Luck
Regards
Kerem
P.S: You need a elevated Token (a real Administrator!) on Vista
and upper to accomplish this, never forget that or you will get a
ACCESS_DENIED (5) on any call attempt for DeviceIoControl(...)
if you are NOT a Administrator!

we also use the partitioning method (IOCTL) that your posting refers to (or
at least it seems so, I cannot see any relevant differences). The problem
(that an unwanted dialog is bothering the user) only exists since Windows 7
(and seems to be independent from the partitioning method one chooses). Have
you actually tried it on Windows 7 to create an extended (!) partition and
not seen the warning dialog?
