ERROR_DIRECT_ACCESS_HANDLE

The handle type is incompatible with the operation

ERROR_DIRECT_ACCESS_HANDLE indicates that an API received a direct-access disk or volume handle in a context that expects another kind of object. The handle itself may be open, but its semantics do not match the request.

Checks

Identify how the handle was opened and which object it represents.
Do not pass volume handles to file-oriented APIs.
Keep raw-device I/O paths separate from ordinary file I/O.
Validate wrapper types at module boundaries.

Resolution

Open the correct object type with the access and sharing flags documented for the target API.
