VDS_E_INVALID_OPERATION

VDS_E_INVALID_OPERATION means that the specified operation is not valid in the current VDS context. Unlike a simple unsupported-feature result, this often means that the method, target object, or state transition is incompatible with the current storage configuration.

What to check

Confirm the VDS object type and provider capability expected by the called method.
Read the current disk, volume, partition, and operation state before attempting a state-changing call.
Check whether a prerequisite such as initialization, selection of free space, completion of an earlier operation, or a compatible partition style is missing.
