G’day all,
First of all, I’m a bit new to this arena, so please don’t flame me if I’m off track. I’ve done alot of research into the program I’ve been given, which is to partition an arbitary size on the hard disk. We don’t want to have this partition show up in the partition table, I need to map the space as a floppy/removable drive, and save files. I also need to use a few ATA commands, so I’ve come up with the decision to write a filter driver (which looks like it will satisfy my needs. I really don’t want to have a system where I have to write the FAT structures to the disk manually, I thought it may be possible to map these sectors as a new logical device, and use windows to help out with the other stuff.
Has anyone some information about performing such a task? I’m willing to read alot, but I’m finding it hard to filter out the good articles from the bad.
TIA,
Matt
