FormatStore (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This function performs the equivalent of a clean format of the storage volume. This removes all partition information in the store.

Syntax

BOOL WINAPI FormatStore(
  HANDLE hStore
);

Parameters

• hStore
  [in] Handle to the store returned by the OpenStore function.

Return Value

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates.

Remarks

This function writes a new master boot record to sector zero of the storage device, which deletes all existing partitions. However, this function does not write a file system format.

To write a file system format, such as FATFS, call FormatVolume.
