How to make a virtual disk in Windows 2000 (Server)

I want to write a driver to make a virtual disk that can be recognized by the Windows 2000(Server) System,that is,the virtual disk can be seen in Disk Management.What should I do?

If you mean you want a ‘Ram Disk’ you can find an example with source code
in IFS Kit (ramdisk.sys).
(this sample comes only on IFS Kit for NT4, it does not come on IFS Kit for
W2000)

Inaki.

You need to create etiher a scsi miniport driver that serves block requests
(easiest) or a monolithic driver (better performance, very difficult,
because how to do so isn’t documented). Read the DDK on how to create a
miniport driver, and go from there. All you’re really going to be doing is
“faking” a real device.
