I am very new to the world of FSD, so please forgive me if I re-tread on
well explored ground.
I am developing an audio application which needs to have non-CDFS formatted
cdrom’s [literally containing a serialized binary image of my applications’
internal symbol table] mount correctly on the win2k desktop. Note that I’d
like this to happen without my app actually running, e.g., the explorer
would mount and open this disk. [Naturally, I understand that, had my app.
been running, I could be doing raw reads.]
Ideally, I’d like to be able to do this without writing a FSD. Hence, my
first question is: is this possible ? Explorer name-space extensions look
like they might be useful here, but I have been unable to determine how one
might ‘override’ an existing explorer name-space (as opposed to creating
new name-spaces).
On the assumption that we do have to write a driver, exactly what kind of
filter drive would one need to create here ? Would this need to be a
filter driver sitting ontop of the CDROM class driver, would this be a FSD
? If the latter, would we have to use microsoft’s file-system developer
kit, or is this possible with the w2k ddk ?
I must apologize for the somewhat newbie questions here.
Sincerely,
Craig Hansen-Sturm
