I’ve been trying to change the partition of an LTO8 tape in Windows 10 pro using the following API’s code snippet
it compiles without any warnings but didn’t change the partition.

`DWORD partition= 2;

if(SetTapePosition(hTape, TAPE_LOGICAL_BLOCK, partition, 0, 0, FALSE) != NO_ERROR)`

But it doesn’t change the partition. I can use the same function and handle to seek to various blocks within the first (default) partition, so I don’t think that’s the problem.

The tape has been partitioned for sure because i have checked it using SCSI command

i have tried to use the API that microsoft provides but hard luck with that
