I create a VHD file and Mount it, then use DISKPART CLEAN command to delete all properties and partitions of its hard disk.
How to distinguish Uninitialized Drive, RAW Drive and Initialized Drive ?.
.
And if that hard drive is not initialized, how to initialize it without DISKPART.
.
.
.
.
Thanks.

An initialized disk does have a partition layout (usually MBR or GPT).
There is
IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO_EX or
DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX to get this information.

After few days, I found in WMI, but it need .NET Framework, this not work in WinPE
I query class Win32_DiskDrive, get CIMV2:Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE5" (5 = my VHD Disk), get Properties named Partitons (if 0 as Uninitialized Drive, this is right ?)
call @Chris
Please help
