Using the Disk Initialization Manager
The Disk Initialization Manager provides standard interfaces that allow your application
- to respond to the user's insertion of an unformatted or damaged disk by presenting the standard disk initialization dialog box
- to reinitialize valid disks, preserving their names but destroying their contents
You can override these standard interfaces by calling low-level Disk Initialization Manager routines, and you can also override the default volume characteristics that the Disk Initialization Manager gives to hierarchical volumes.
