+      It is not a complete medium description and, therefore, it is not IMedium
+      based. The interface is used to get information about a host drive and
+      its partitioning.
+      <note>
+        The object operates in limited mode if the user cannot open the drive
+        and parse the partition table.  In limited mode on the
+        <link to="IHostDrive::drivePath" /> and <link to="IHostDrive::model" />
+        attributes can be accessed, the rest will fail with E_ACCESSDENIED.
