think if you google for “boot process” or something like this you will find
a lot of information,
you need to be a Disk UpperFilter,
Int13 is unused after ntldr has finished as ntldr already loads the boot
drivers that will later be
started and build the disk stack.

Hello all,

Iam not completely sure if this is the correct newsgroup but I trust you
will be able to help me out on this one.

Can you tell me where I can find the correct description of the boot
process. Especially the very early stages. My goal is to create a mechanism

that will always be filtering the disck access. In the very early stages I
can do that by filtering INT13 but I need to know when this will be taken
over. Basically after things have booted I would like to have a filter at
the upper edge of the disk driver. (I don’t want to write my own IDE driver

since that is not required for the functionality).

What is important is : can I attach to the disk driver before this actually

starts accessing the disk directly?

Best regards,

Wim Vervoorn
