    I want to create a virtual drive

    I want to create a virtual drive, maybe 50-100 MB in size. I would need to program a device driver for it I suppose, im not realy sure how to do it. One file will be the drive, and it can be mounted as E: or F: or whatever.

    My question is, how do I go about doing it?

    Also, second question is, how would I go about password protecting its contents?

    What I am using is Visual C++

    Thanks for your help!

    Microsoft have a sample RAM disk drive (i.e. a drive whose contents reside in system memory) device driver. You should be able to Google for it and modify it so it refers to an image file instead of memory.

    That said, getting the DDK to work is easier said than done.

    I guess that might work if I had windows 2000 or XP? I have windows 98. Will that work? Guess I will have to take a look at the source code if I can comprehend, if it is well commented.
