     LONG  *newPartitionObjectID ); 
  
  

Parameters

deviceObjectHandle

The Media Manager object handle of the reserved device object.

partitionType

The identification type for the partition to be created. See NetWare Partition Types.

startingSector

The beginning absolute sector number for the new logical partition. If this is the first partition it must be equal to areaStart. If this is not the first partition this must be a multiple of alignment.

numberOfSectors

The number of sectors to be assigned to the new logical partition. This must be calculated so that the ending sector (the startingSector plus the numberOfSectors) is a multiple of alignment.

newPartitionObjectID

The pointer to the Media Manager object ID of the newly created partition object.
