Hello all,

I have a virtual disk and when i mount it,my drive letter appears in Hard Disk Drives section.I want to change that to appear in Devices with Removable Storage.In others words to treat a fixed drive as a removable.Any ideas?

Thanks

Make it report the media as removable.

I used FILE_DEVICE_MASS_STORAGE in IOCreateDevice and for IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX i changed from FixedMedia to RemovableMedia with no success.

DeviceObject->Characteristics |= FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA;

Report RemovableMedia = TRUE in STORAGE_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR of IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY
