To expand on my Serial Debug Port Menu (Windows CE: Serial Debug Menu Summary), I decided to add a Disk Viewer. The Disk Viewer enumerates the disks and partitions to display information about them. This can be a useful tool if you have a headless system and can’t access the Control Panel.
The systems doesn’t really have information about disks, instead it has Stores. To find the stores, use FindFirstStore() and FindNextStore() which function much like the other functions that I have already used, like FindFirstDevice(). The following function, DisplayDisks(), uses FindFirstStore() and FindNextStore() to enumerate the stores, display information about the stores and finally call DisplayPartions() .
VOID DisplayDisks()
{
STOREINFO si = {0};
HANDLE hFind = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
DWORD dwCurrentSel = 0;
HANDLE hStore;
si.cbSize = sizeof(STOREINFO);
// enumerate first store
hFind = FindFirstStore(&si);
if(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != hFind)
do
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Device Name %s\n"), si.szDeviceName ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Name %s\n"), si.szStoreName ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Class %s\n"), si.dwDeviceClass == STORAGE_DEVICE_CLASS_BLOCK ?
TEXT("STORAGE_DEVICE_CLASS_BLOCK") :
TEXT("STORAGE_DEVICE_CLASS_MULTIMEDIA") ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Type ")));
switch( si.dwDeviceType )

RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Unkown device type 0x%X\n"), si.dwDeviceType));
}
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Flags")));
if(si.dwDeviceFlags & STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_READWRITE )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_READWRITE")));
if(si.dwDeviceFlags & STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_READONLY )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_READONLY")));
if(si.dwDeviceFlags & STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_TRANSACTED )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_TRANSACTED")));

RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORAGE_DEVICE_FLAG_MEDIASENSE")));
if(si.dwDeviceFlags == 0 )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" None")));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\n")));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Bytes per Sector %d\n"), si.dwBytesPerSector));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Attributes")));
if(si.dwAttributes & STORE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY )

if(si.dwAttributes & STORE_ATTRIBUTE_REMOVABLE )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORE_ATTRIBUTE_REMOVABLE")));

RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORE_ATTRIBUTE_AUTOPART")));

RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" STORE_ATTRIBUTE_AUTOMOUNT")));
if(si.dwAttributes == 0 )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Partition Count %d\n"), si.dwPartitionCount));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Mount Count %d\n"), si.dwMountCount));
hStore = OpenStore( si.szDeviceName );
if( hStore )
DisplayPartions( hStore );
CloseHandle(hStore);
else
RETAILMSG(1, (TEXT("OpenSelectedStore failed\n")));
while(FindNextStore(hFind, &si));
FindClose(hFind);
The output from DisplayDisks() looks like:
Device Name DSK2:
Name PCMCIA/Compact Flash Device
Class STORAGE_DEVICE_CLASS_MULTIMEDIA
Type Unkown device type 0x0
Flags None
Bytes per Sector 512
Attributes None
Partition Count 1
Mount Count 1
DisplayDisks() calls on DisplayPartions() to enumerate the disk partitions and display the partition information.
void DisplayPartions( HANDLE hStore )
HANDLE hPartition = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
PARTINFO partInfo = {0};
partInfo.cbSize = sizeof(PARTINFO);
hFind = FindFirstPartition(hStore, &partInfo);
if(PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTED & partInfo.dwAttributes)
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tPartition Name %s\n"), partInfo.szPartitionName ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tSize %d\n"), partInfo.cbSize ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tFile System %s\n"), partInfo.szFileSys ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tVolume Name %s\n"), partInfo.szVolumeName ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tNumber of Sectors %d\n"), partInfo.snNumSectors ));
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tAttributes")));
if(partInfo.dwAttributes & PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_EXPENDABLE )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_EXPENDABLE")));
if(partInfo.dwAttributes & PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY")));
if(partInfo.dwAttributes & PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_BOOT )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_BOOT")));
if(partInfo.dwAttributes & PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_AUTOFORMAT )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_AUTOFORMAT")));
if(partInfo.dwAttributes & PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTED )
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT(" PARTITION_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTED")));
if(partInfo.dwAttributes == 0 )
TCHAR *PartTypeString = NULL;
DWORD Result;
HKEY hKey;
DWORD NumBytes = 0;
DWORD Type;
TCHAR PartType[3];
// Convert the partion type value to a string
wsprintf( PartType, TEXT("%02X"), partInfo.bPartType );
// Open the Registry Key
Result = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, (LPCWSTR)TEXT("System\\StorageManager\\PartitionTable"), 0, 0, &hKey);
if( ERROR_SUCCESS == Result )
// This is a fake read, all it does is fill in NumBytes with the number of
// bytes in the string value plus the null character.
Result = RegQueryValueEx( hKey, PartType, NULL, &Type, NULL, &NumBytes );
if( NumBytes > 0 )
// Now we know how big the string is allocate and read it
PartTypeString = (TCHAR *)malloc( NumBytes );
if( PartTypeString != NULL )
Result = RegQueryValueEx( hKey, PartType, NULL, &Type, (LPBYTE)PartTypeString, &NumBytes );
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tPartion Type %s\n"), PartTypeString ));
free( PartTypeString );
RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("\t\tPartion Type not found\n")));
RegCloseKey( hKey );
while(FindNextPartition(hFind, &partInfo));
While writing this, I discovered that unlike what the documentation says about bPartType, the macros that define the partition types don’t actually exist. But, the information is in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\PartitionTable. So I reused the code in my post about reading registry strings (Windows CE: Reading a String from the Registry) to read the partition names from the registry.
