ImDiskAPI.GetFormattedGeometry Method (Stream, Int64)

ImDiskAPIGetFormattedGeometry Method (Stream, Int64)

Reads formatted geometry for a volume by parsing BPB, BIOS Parameter Block, from volume boot record into a DISK_GEOMETRY structure. If no boot record signature is found, an exception is thrown.

Namespace: LTR.IO.ImDisk
Assembly: ImDiskNet (in ImDiskNet.dll) Version: 1.0.0.0 (1.0.007.0)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static DISK_GEOMETRY GetFormattedGeometry(
	Stream Imagefile,
	long Offset
)

Public Shared Function GetFormattedGeometry ( 
	Imagefile As Stream,
	Offset As Long
) As DISK_GEOMETRY

public:
static DISK_GEOMETRY GetFormattedGeometry(
	Stream^ Imagefile, 
	long long Offset
)

static member GetFormattedGeometry : 
        Imagefile : Stream * 
        Offset : int64 -> DISK_GEOMETRY

Parameters

Imagefile: Type: System.IOStream
Open stream that can be used to read from volume image.
Offset: Type: SystemInt64
Optional offset in bytes to volume boot record within file for use with "non-raw" volume image files. This parameter can be used to for example skip over headers for specific disk image formats, or to skip over master boot record in a disk image file that contains a complete raw disk image and not only a single volume.

Return Value

Type: DISK_GEOMETRY
A DISK_GEOMETRY structure that receives information about formatted geometry. This function zeroes the Cylinders member.
