IVdsDisk::ConvertStyle method (vds.h)
[Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the Virtual Disk Service COM interface is superseded by the Windows Storage Management API.]
Converts the partition style of an empty disk from one style to another.
Syntax
HRESULT ConvertStyle(
[in] VDS_PARTITION_STYLE NewStyle
);
Parameters
[in] NewStyle
The partition styles enumerated by VDS_PARTITION_STYLE.
Return value
This method can return standard HRESULT values, such as E_INVALIDARG or E_OUTOFMEMORY, and VDS-specific return values. It can also return converted system error codes using the HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 macro. Errors can originate from VDS itself or from the underlying VDS provider that is being used. Possible return values include the following.

The disk style cannot be converted, as is the case for 1394 or USB disks and unallocated disks. |
Remarks
