Recovering from errors in DriverEntry

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I’ve got a filter driver to ftdisk. there are
certain cases where my driver will have to fail. for
example, due to lack of certain entries in the
registry.

In such cases, is it possible to have the driver
unload cleanly and have system boot without the
filters?

So far if I return an error from DriverEntry, the
system will refuse to boot.

return STATUS_SUCCESS from your add-device routine without attaching
your device object to the stack (or even creating one).
