IOCTL_STORAGE_LOAD_MEDIA IOCTL (ntddstor.h)

Causes media to be loaded in a device that the caller has opened for read or write access. If read or write access to the device is not necessary, the caller can improve performance by opening the device with FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES and issuing an IOCTL_STORAGE_LOAD_MEDIA2 request instead.
