What do you want to do?
DeviceIoControl works not with file handle but with device handle.

Here is a working code:

require 'windows/file'
require 'windows/device_io'
require 'windows/handle'
require 'windows/error'
include Windows::File
include Windows::DeviceIO
include Windows::Handle
include Windows::Error

buf   = 0.chr * 24 # sizeof(DISK_GEOMETRY)
bytes = [0].pack('L')
handle = CreateFile("\\\\.\\c:",0,FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,0,OPEN_EXISTING,0,0)
bool = DeviceIoControl(
  handle,
  IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY(), # 458752
  nil,
  0,
  buf,
  buf.size,
  bytes,
  0
)

unless bool
  puts "DeviceIoControl failed: " + get_last_error
  fh.close
  exit
end
