SET_MAX_ADDRESS port from linux->Windows

[pixelmonkey]

davidson_marvin@hotmail.com

okay...

I'm trying to convert the following code from linux to windows...
I was wondering if someone could point out the best way to approach this. I was messing with DeviceIOControl, but I'm having problems working out the commands, possibly way off track with that call, so if you can help, thankyou thank you thankyou...


/* setmax.c - aeb, 000326 - use on 2.4.0test9 or newer */
/* IBM part thanks to Matan Ziv-Av <matan@svgalib.org> */
/*
* Results on Maxtor disks:
* The jumper that clips capacity does not influence the value returned
* by READ_NATIVE_MAX_ADDRESS, so it is possible to set the jumper
* and let the kernel, or a utility (like this one) run at boot time
* restore full capacity.
* For example, run "setmax -d 0 /dev/hdX" for suitable X.
* Kernel patches exist that do the same.
*
* Results on IBM disks:
* The jumper that clips capacity is ruthless. You clipped capacity.
* However, if your BIOS hangs on a large disk, do not use the jumper
* but find another machine and use a utility (like this one) to
* clip the non-volatile max address.
* For example, run "setmax -m 66055248 /dev/hdX" for suitable X.
* Now go back to your first machine and proceed as with Maxtor drives above.

Mr. Davidson,

Recently I have seen setmax.c in linux version and changed to window version but it is not working…Please send me the solution asap





Best Regards,

Mohan.
