Re: Re[2]: Vista hibernation disk access

Hi,

have the same problem and would really appreciate if there
was a “better” way than what had to be done for W2K and XP.
=> Are there any documents by now ?

Hi Jeff,

That’s good news. Any idea how you get the filter in there? I am
currently an disk class upper filter and I don’t seem to get the
requests via the normal route.

Is there any documentation on the architecture for this now?

Thanks.
Shaun
