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.

Re: How Do We Get Drive Geometry?

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.
