Interesting… It looks like this sample starts FAT-formatted and OS
just refuses to reformat it. Do you want to create NTFS structures by
yourself as driver does it with FAT structures? =)

In any case I think this sample is completely useless one. It looks like
there is no way to create workable block device driver at class level.
The times of NT4 are gone…

Yes, I want to create NTFS structures myself and it’s
for NT4 only. Where do I get more info on those NTFS
structures?
Thanks,
Sajeev.

I think you have to get sources of NTFS driver from some
open source operating system (Linux for example).

I think I may have a version of the NT4 ramdisk driver that is fixed up so
that it works like a complete disk device and can thus be formatted with
NTFS. Let me know if you want me to try to dig it up.

NTFS/Linux is read-only - the guys did not discover the log format yet.
