Replace Driver

NTDEV
1

Hello

I’ve written a driver for my removable IDE Disk Drive.
I want to replace the standard windows disk driver
with my driver. I want to do it Programmatically. How
can I do it? My device is not a plug and play device
and the interested os is WINNT 4.0.

Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Why not use InstallShield to write a setup program that will copy
the original disk driver with the same name but with a different
extension and then copy your modified disk driver with the same
name and location. This way you can do a clean uninstall when required.

However this is not a very good practice to replace standard OS
drivers. What happens if you install IOMEGA ZIP drive? The IOMEGA
installation will replace the disk driver with it’s own modified
disk driver and vice-versa.

Hope this helps,
Niraj
