I am attempting to get partition information for a hidden partition (always the last partition on the first disk). I need to return the label for the partition. The partition shows in Disk Management with the label so there should be a definite way to get this information within Windows. I am just trying find how. Is there a C++ to do this.
There's not a nice API but you can use DeviceIOControl() with the
IOCTL_DISK_* commands.
IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY, IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX and
IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO should get you what you want.
