Hi Dorival,

This is more like a question for NTDEV than NTFSD since you’re intending to create virtual disk. Anyway, I have done this in the past using KMDF. I wrote a bus driver which creates children devices dynamically, then I wrote a device driver for those devices which implement the storage interface.

Take a look on the TOASTER sample at WDK. That was my start point.

If you’re using WDM instead of KMDF, I think you can write a BUS filter for disk class and add your virtual devices in response to PNP query relations IRP. I didn’t that yet, so I’m not sure if it’d work. Anyone from NTFSD has tried? KMDF doesn’t support bus filter development though.

I know there is an open source project called TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org) which also creates storage devices but I don’t remember for sure how it does so, but you can download the source code and take a look.

I hope that can help you.
