Remarks

The MediaType member of the DISK_GEOMETRY data structure is of type MEDIA_TYPE. The DeviceIoControl function receives a DISK_GEOMETRY structure in response to an IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY device I/O operation. The DeviceIoControl function receives an array of DISK_GEOMETRY structures in response to an IOCTL_DISK_GET_MEDIA_TYPES device I/O operation.
