3.1 Stage 1. Initialization
3.2 Stage 2. Disk mounting
3.3 Stage 3. Processing requests
3.4 Stage 4. Unmounting
4. How to build this Solution
4.1 Testing
4.2 Supported Windows Versions
5. ConclusionIntroductionThis article is oriented to Windows-developers and considers how to create virtual disk in Windows system.In Windows virtual disks are implemented by means of kernel mode drivers. Some necessary information concerning disk drivers for Windows is given in the section “Windows and disks”. The implementation of virtual disk for Windows can also be found in the widely known project with open sources FileDisk (http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ ). The main difference of the solution, which is given in this article, is that FileDisk processes requests to the virtual disk in kernel mode while the proposed solution processes them in user mode.
