I’m new to ddk and I’m trying to do something that I think might be easy (maybe not).
I need to emulate a usb drive that I can write to and read from, and I want that drive to be stored in a file.
I found something that does pretty much what I want but the only problem is that it creates a local disk. I posted the website at the bottom of the paragraph. As you can see, it’s a driver with an executable that allows to mount a drive and create a new file associated to this drive. I’ve looked through the code and I have to say I’m a bit lost in it, but I’ve found something that could resolve my problem. All I want is to change the drive type.
http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ (filedisk-17)
I found on line 428 of filedisk.c in sys/src that the drivetype is specified. I tried changing the value to FILE_DEVICE_MASS_STORAGE but it creates a drive with a ? sign next to it and when I try to open it or check its properties, explorer crashes.
Maybe someone could give me a hint on what to do exactly to fix my problem? This is for XP btw.
Thanks for the help

You probably will not get help, since filedisk is stolen software, and
most of us refuse to help people who try to use it. Search the archives
for the full story.

Oh, I didn’t know about that.
Is there something I can use or a tutorial on how to make one by myself?
What is wrong with the NT Insider? The article is not completed, but it can
explain things very well.
