DOC: IOCTL_DISK_REMOVE_DEVICE Is Not Supported

ID: Q136632

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) for Windows NT, version 3.5

SUMMARY

The Windows NT DDK documentation discusses the IOCTL_DISK_REMOVE_DEVICE device control as a method for removing devices from the system. However, this IOCTL is unsupported and should not be used.

Also, the SRB function code SRB_FUNCTION_REMOVE_DEVICE is not currently implemented in the SCSIPORT driver. Calling the port driver with this SRB function results in unpredictable behavior.

This documentation error has been corrected in the Windows NT DDK version online 4.0 documentation.

Additional query words: 3.50 4.00 SCSI IOCTL
