First of all, sorry for my english.

I've been writing a code for listing all the partitions of a disk and I've found a problem. The Win32_DiskDrive property "Partitions" of WMI show me that one test disk have 5 partitions, but I only can list four of them (the last two partitions appear as they were only one). These last two partitions are primary, but one is a SWAP partition and the other is a Linux partition, and I think that is the problem.

I hope someone can help me. Thanks to all.

What about the Win32_DiskPartition[^] class? As the Win32_DiskDrive WMI class represents a physical disk drive as seen by a computer running the Windows operating system I am not wondering that you don't see the linux swap partition, since it is not handled by Windows.

The Win32_DiskPartition property "Partition" tell me that the disk have 5 partitions, but when I use the class Win32_DiskPartition to list them, I can only list 4...

It should list all. Have you checked with a professional partition manager to see what exactly do you have? The logical "partition set" might be listed as an additional partition.

I looked the partitions using the Windows Disk Management aplication, and it show me 5 partitions... I don´t have used a professional partition manager, but I think It will show me the same.
