How to install my file system filter driver`?

Dear all:
I wrote a filter driver and I want to install it, but I have no idea how to
do it !!
should I create a INF file ? If it is true what kind of HARDWARE
ID,GUID,CLASS
should I write it in the INF¡Aand what sys file should I using in the INF
file ?
and how to install it ??

What kind of filter driver did you write? What do you mean by “how to install it”? You mean you don’t know how to set it up on your test computer (for testing purposes) or you don’t know how you should install it programatically on a end-user system?

If you based your driver on one of the IFS/DDK samples then you have all the information you need right there. Take a look at the INF files there.

While is it ok to ask for device on this list, keep in mind that you should always try to do your homework before asking. I think you could have easily found the answer with a search through the DDK samples or through MSDN.

I write my filter driver by modifing the sample code in WinXP DDK not IFS/DDK
and I installed my filter driver to usb mass stroage last time by writing a INF file
and I can indicate the usb GUID and usb CLASS and the Hardware ID of the usb device
so I can install my filter driver to be a upper leverl filter dirver of that usb device
but now I want to install it to be the upper level of file system,so here comes the problem
what kind of GUID CLASS Hardware ID should I use ?

Then you are going to do a wrong thing.
If you want to write a filter driver, you will need the IFS kit anyway.
There is nothing like free source code of filespy.

Thanks alot…
but some more questions…
I have no IFS/DDK, but I can write a filter driver and install it on my usb mass storage to get IRP_MJ_READ and other IRPs
why ??
Or I have to install IFS/DDK “if I am going to write a file system filter driver” ??

You need IFS headers for building the file system filter.
DDK is enough for building storage drivers and
(maybe all) another non-file-system drivers.
