Hi,
I have to develop file system filter driver for USB
flash drive. Do i need IFS kit for that or can I
write using DDK.
Also any examples for writing file system filter
drivers.

What are you trying to do in the filter? If you need to access things at
the file system level, you will need the IFS kit. From your questions, you
will also need to:

Hi,
I have to write a filter driver which reads a file
from USB flash drive. I am assuming that i have to
write a file system filter driver to do the work. Is
my understnading correct. If not what I have to do
(meaning) how to proceed.

Your post does not explain what you are trying to accomplish. If you have a
mass storage compliant USB flash drive device, it will just be mounted by
the standard Microsoft drivers and all files will be accessible. If you
don’t have a compliant device, you should consider a redesign of the
hardware and firmware. This ‘reading of a file from a USB flash drive’ does
not provide anywhere close to the information we need to answer.

Hi David,
Thanks for answering my question and sorry at the same
time that i did not give sufficient information. I
think i have mass storage compliant USB flash drive
device. Are there any sample drivers that are
available for reading a file.

Hi,
One more question. How to find out if i have mass
storage compliant USB flash drive or not. Do i need
to check with my system people.

Use Windows Explorer and open the file. Try Disk Manager to see if you have
a drive that isn’t getting a drive letter assigned for some reason. If it
is compliant, it will mount and will under most circumstances be assigned a
drive letter. The other question about reading a file? Why constantly
repeating the question without any information about the device and what
happens when it is plugged in on a test system where an OS such as XP has
been installed and all updates applied?
When the drive mounts, it will be a normal read/write partition/volume. If
you haven’t formatted the drive, that can be done from Disk Manager, but
should be done during the final phase on the production line. After the
drive has been completely read/write tested, it should be formatted. If you
don’t know what I am talking about, I would suggest you hire a consultant
with storage systems experience. I can recommend Jamey Kirby if he is
available.
Try the following and see if it matches your current circumstance:
The answer to 2 is that it will just work if both 1 & 2 are true and the
drive is manufactured correctly. I am including both physical/electrical as
well as properly initializing the media.
