How to hide a physical disk??

Hi,

I am looking for a way to hide a physical disk from the Disk Manager
snapin. Can this be done from an IFS or would I have to modify the actual
SCSI driver? If any one has suggestions, thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Don

Hi Don,

There are several ways. One way is to write a disk class filter and
return STATUS_OFFLINE to any request sent to the disk you are interested
in.

Another way is to write a class driver that loads defore the disk class
driver and have your class driver to claim the device before the disk
class driver see it.
