Calling IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT with DeviceIoControl Error Code 0X7A

Asked By shaheryar 20 points N/A Posted on - 07/28/2011

 I caught this error 0x7A. I have never seen it but when I tried to look for it, it was defined on the list. However, it was skipped (obviously on purpose). And I wonder what does this mean? Here's my code below:
DeviceIoControl(hFile,IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT,NULL,0,&dli,sizeof(dli),&dwWr,NULL);

These errors can cause your Windows to get corrupted. So, you will have to reinstall Windows in which you will lose all of the stored data.

Windows gets corrupted due to many reasons like: Malware attack in the system which can damage most of the data or executable files of the system like: Windows registry, hard disk error, hardware malfunction, abrupt shut down of system due to power failure, driver error etc. Apart from these problems, you may receive various error messages during usage of your Windows computer such as, STOP error message or BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) which is the most critical error.
