What's wrong with just reading standard MSDN documentation on the topic?

This is quite easy to figure out from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394388%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393675%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa386179%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^].

They are derived from respective CIM_* classes, and there are some associations between those classes which provide you with the information on relationship between storage devices, logical disks, partitions, and so on. For further detail, read respective MSDN pages on each of those classes.
