—Does this error occur if your filter is not attached?
No.
If the filter is attached the error doesn’t occur too until the filter
starts to encrypt the disk and changes its size (this is an encryption
filter).
No problem with NTFS format, only FAT16 and FAT32.
No problem on XP/Vista.

Thanks, Alexei, but the same failure occurred on FAT16.

Minimum partition size for FAT32 is 512M, you should use FAT16 for
smaller
volumes.
Alexei.

It is about 500 M.
Additional info is that the original disk size is changed by the filter
at
some point of time, but not from the moment the device is connected.

What sizes are the disks that are failing? FAT32 is limited to, I
think, a 32 GB partition.

Hi all!
I am trying to change the disk on key capacity in the disk filter
driver.
Some disks on key on W2K cannot be formatted FAT32, only NTFS.
The following sequence is seen for fast format:
IOCTL_DISK_CHECK_VERIFY
READ 0x1000 from 0
WRITE 0x1000 to 0
IOCTL_DISK_IS_WRITABLE
IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY
IOCTL_DISK_GET_PARTITION_INFO
IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT
After some retries it fails. NTFS sends the same ioctls, but succeeds.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Dani
