Is this possible to use fdisk for win32 API in all OS?

Asked By Steven M Doud 80 points N/A Posted on - 04/01/2013

Hi to every one. As win32 API is widely used in C++ programming language and it seems like DOS window. I want to develop an API supporting  fdisk utility for all Operating Systems so that different portioning functions and disk information could be displayed. I searched a lot but did not find any useful material. So is it possible to use fdisk for win32 API for windows OS? Any suggestions please.

Hello,

 

As I found on the internet you can use fdisk API only on the UNIX platform (that includes Linux, too).  Also, I found that you can download binaries of fdisk and use them on a daily basis, but really I couldn't find any API for Windows.  You can try to use something else on Windows, but fdisk is only for Linux and Mac.  This should do the trick.  I hope I helped.  Regards.
