How Do We Get Drive Geometry?


Recommended Posts

How do I get the drive geometry of physical volumes in Windows 2003?

Windows 2000 has a utility named diskpar.exe that comes with the resource

toolkit, and they appear to have removed that from the Windows 2003 resource

kit.

also "dmdiag.exe -v" gives a good bit of info, including "Geometric size"

"True size (measured)" and "Reported size (Partition0)"

 

Further more it will detail

- # of Cylinders

- Tracks/Cylinder

- Sectors/Track

- Bytes/Sector

(- and more)

 

rgds,

Edwin.
