    - Code works in NT doesn't work in Win2K(SP4) and Win2003 I have 2 drivers and 1 user mode application, one driver runs in NT, one driver runs in Win2K and Win2003, they share some common codes. The application uses IOCTLs to communicate with driver. There is an IOCTL, if device is in a specific internal state, this IOCTL fails and the driver return STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER to system, but the driver also return some internal error information to application, this information is returned through output buffer argument when calling IODeviceControl. In Windows NT, this error information can be returned to application, so when this IOCTL fails, the application can tell user why it fails. In Windows 2000(SP4) and Windows 2003, this error information cannot be returned to application, the result is when this IOCTL fails, the application tells user "unknown error", this is very bad. This IOCTL uses BUFFERD_IO to communicate with kernel, I wonder if this is because of security reason, when an IOCTL fails, Win2K(sp4) and Win2003 doesn't copy the data in kernel buffer to user mode buffer, but Windows NT still does that? Thanks. Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29688

    - win2k3 SCSI miniport driver "code 37" problem I have a SCSI miniport driver which installs and works OK under NT, 2000 and XP. I am trying to install this driver under Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" reports: "Windows can not initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". After that I can see that the entire driver related registry settings are done correctly, according to my INF file. Before attempting to install the driver, I could see the device in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port...). After attempting to install the driver, the device disappeared from the DEVICEMAP registry. What does Code 37 mean, and what do I need to do to get this device to install under Win2K3?

    - Booting from a RAMDISK image Hi, I used the RamDisk sample driver in the DDK and I was able to use the Disk Administrator to create a partition and format the RamDisk. My goal is to copy an NT bootable image to the RamDisk and save the image. This image would be downloaded to a reserved RAM before the system is started. The BIOS (after hooking INT 13h) should access this image as a bootable disk. Currently the RamDisk driver formats the RamDisk as non bootable. Is it possible to create a bootable image using the RAM DISK driver with some modification? How NT determines the offset that it passes to the driver? Does it use the drive geometry that was provided by the driver to calculate this offset? If so what is the “equation” in terms of the CHS parameters?

    - Releasing Device Names I am writting a 1394 device driver for my system. All is working as expected with one exception. When I enumerate the bus with a device attached my device names are as follows: \DosDevice\000001 \DosDevice\000002 The 000001 represents the bus interface and the 000002 is the plugged in device. When I unplug the device the 000002 device rightly is removed from the enumeration. However, if the the device is replugged on to the device the emuneration 000003 is added instead of 000002. The question is: what am I missing to allow the release of the 000002 name so it can be reused and is there anything else I should be aware of? I am writing for CE.net 4.1 Thank you. Graham....

    - rsm media recognition within a MOD library We are currently developing a windows 2003 driver for our SCSI library and now I found a problem with the media recognition. The Microsoft Removable Storage service detects the media in the library and creates database entries for each piece. I currently work with two libraries one with two SMO-F551 and the other with four SMO-F561 drives. The library with SMO-F551 identifies the media as '5.25" REWRITABLE DISK' and creates a media entry with two sides. The library with SMO-F561 identifies the media as 'Removable media' and creates a media entry with only one side. Why does it not work with the SMO-F561 drives?

    - How to distinguish stack frame from dataseg? Hi, All! Suppose I want to check, for testing purposes, if the object was created statically or allocated on the stack (say in the thread function). How to do this? For example: struct SomeStruct { // shareable data. // ... // lock KSPINLOCK lock; }; BOOL InitSomeStruct(SomeStruct& someStruct) { ASSERT_STATICALLY_ALLOCATED(someStruct); KeInititalizeSpinLock(&someStruct.lock); } I want ASSERT_STATICALLY_ALLOCATED macro not to ASSERT when someStruct is allocated on the dataseg and ASSERT, when it is allocated on the stack (i.e. not accessible from other threads).

    - Question about Virtual Serial I followed the step of Eliyas Yakub How to Make a Virtual Port. Frome Step 1 to Step 3 I was success, but the step 4: Step4 Once the steps above have been completed, the bus driver can now start receiving IRPs from any application such as HyperTerminal. For a list of all the IOCTL IRPs that have to be handled, refer to the "SerialIoControl " function in the "serial" sample in the DDK. By implementing the handler code for these IRPs, the virtual com port should now be fully functional. Yes, I can use HyperTerminal to open the COMx that I had installed, but I can not handled the Serial IOCTL IRPs, I don't know what happened. I added the "SerialIoControl" function in the Bus_IoCtl(busenum.c)£¬ if (!fdoData->IsFDO) { ... status = SerialIoControl(DeviceObject,Irp); ... } I can't see any DebugCode of IOCTL IRPs in the DebugView, and the HyperTerminal said "Unable to open COMx. Please check your port settings" please reply me... Best Regards... Daniel Xu Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29645

    - Is DrvEnableDriver exported by default? Hi! I am trying to use EngLoadImage and EngFindImageProcAddress to install a "filter" driver around a third party display driver. When I use dumpbin.exe /EXPORTS "dispdll_001.dll" (a utility that ships with VStudio6), it returns no exported functions. So how can I call the DrvEnableDriver function of the main driver from my "filter" if its not exported by the main driver's dll? The main display driver that I am trying to link to is S3 Trio32/64. I also tried with nvidia geforce4 driver and it doesn't export DrvEnableDriver either. It states on the msdn documentation that DrvEnableDriver must be exported by the driver dll. Well, I guess it makes sense since GDI as to link to it, but in that case shouldn't the exported function appears when I run dumpbin.exe? I'm just completely lost, that's all! Thanks in advance for your reply. Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29638

    - EngLoadImage and function pool? Hi. Lets suppose a display driver would load an existing dll into its memory using EngLoadImage. Would that image be limited to call EngXXX functions as is the case for a display driver, or can the image call any kernel function? What I'm really trying to do is access the registry from my display driver but there doesn't seem to be any supported function for this!! so I was thinking of loading an image that uses ZwOpenKey and calling it from my driver. Can this be done or is there a simpler way? Thanks in advance. Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29623

    - How do I periodically update my driver during development? I'm new to the DDK. I've never developed any drivers. I have the XP DDK. We have developed a custom PCI card (64-bit @ 66 MHz). We need to develop a throw-away driver that tests our hardware/firmware design. My driver needs only simple functionality. 1) Master true 64-bit transfers accross the PCI bus. 2) Allow our custom card to master single 64-bit transfers back into PC memory. I don't need to handle interrupts. My application will periodically check for a transfer. 3) Control multiple cards. Our target machine is a Dell Xeon Precision 650 under Win2K. It is a 32-bit machine with a couple of 64-bit PCI slots. I've watched the DDK videos and begun architectural tests on the toaster func example. For my first test, I've added three integers to the device extension and defined control codes for getting and setting each. How do I periodically update my driver during development? I seem to recall Brian Catlin suggesting that I need only install the driver once. After that, I can simply copy toaster.sys to C:\WINNT\system32\drivers. I can't get this to work on Win2K. I have to update the driver from the Device Manager using the inf file AND reboot the system. Is there a better way? Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29605

    - Booting over USB 2.0 (with XP), some success... Hi all, I am attempting to make XP boot over USB (1.1 or 2.0). I know that this type of booting is "unsupported" by Microsoft. In fact, you cant even install XP on a USB drive. However, if the bios supports it, it is possible to boot from USB form a pre-installed version of XP. First, I really think that there is no need for any driver developpement since XP has every driver needed to boot over USB. My first attempt at a boot from USB resulted in a reboot after MUP.sys. Now it crossed my mind that maybe USB was not enabled at boot time so I created a new Group called USB miniport and USB storage and placed usbehci.sys, usbohci, usbhub and usbstor right after SCSI miniport in load order. I also changed the types so that USB is loaded at kernel time. I boot in /sos and see the USB drivers load right after the SCSI miniport. Unfortunetly, no luck I still have a reboot after MUP.sys. I then installed DriverStudio to see if I could write a simple USB mass storage driver to make things work. But after installing DriverStudio I tried again to boot over usb to see what happens with SoftIce and behold: the thing boots! It works even when you skip the boot message stating if you would like to skip the debugging. The only wierd part is that to log in to XP I now need to press cntl-alt-del when it says "loading personnal setings..." when you click on your username because it freezes. I investigated and found that SoftIce creates a group called NTIce that loads 4 drivers: nwfilter, sigvid, sigsym and ntice. Now something in these drivers is causing the USB boot to work. I just have no idea what that is. My idea is that sigsiv is printing a message on the screen saying "Do you want to load .... (press ESC to skip)" and waits a couple of seconds. Is it possible that this give the USB drivers enough time to enumerate the storage disk and boot or are these 4 drivers doing some obscure thing that would suddenly make the USB boot work? I know that sigsiv does more than just print a message to the screen. It must capture mouse events and connect to the VGA adapter to print the message. Maybe this is what is causing the boot to work for some unknown reason... Without this knowledge what approach could I use to boot over USB? Would it be a good approach to write an upper layer driver that would make the glue between USBSTOR and the primary boot disk drivers? Should I write my own USB storage driver which I could then use in the installation of XP using F6 in the textual part? What options do you think would work?

    - Which video card registers a driver is setting? I am trying to reverse engineer the Windows 98 driver for a video card in order to find out what hardware registers on the card the driver is setting. To do this under DOS, all I have to do is get the PCI offset in memory of the video card, and then instruct my debugger to break when the memory address corresponding to the register I am interested in is written to. I have absolutely no idea where to begin to do this under Windows, or if it is even possible. Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this? Cody.

    - WMI .Put() works on XP, but fails on Windows 2000 I've added some custom OIDs to an NDIS driver we are developing. I also wrote a user app in C# that correctly querys and sets these ULONG values as long as it is run on Windows XP. When running on Windows 2000 I can query at will, but all attempts to set a value fail with a result of WBEM_E_INVALID_PARAMETER. I have a breakpoint set at the beginning of my driver's xxxSetInformation function that never gets hit. I get the same result, (query OK, set object fails, breakpoint never hit), when I access the OID via <windows>\system32\wbem\wbemtest.exe, so the problem isn't in my user level code. I'm running as an administrator in both cases so I don't think there are any security releated issues. Q1) Do I need to configure Windows 2000 in some way to allow write access to custom OIDs? Q2) Does my NDIS miniport driver need to do anything special for Windows 2000 to allow write access? Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29539

    - Printing from remote machine returns incorrect page numbers Hello! I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this question. I wrote a program using API to monitor a printer queue on a Windows 2000 Server. It monitors all printjobs that are being printed and stores important information like the number of pages printed,... in a database. Monitoring printjobs that are being printed locally is no problem - all the fields are filled with the correct information. If a user prints a document from a Windows 2000 client machine using Word2000 or Notepad I also get all information (but there is a problem in one specific case). Windows 2000 Server local printjob (OK) Word document has 1 page - I print 100 copies Result is: Pages Printed: 1 - Total pages: 1 - Copies: 100 (In this case I can at least calculate the number of pages printed) Windows 2000 Client using shared printer from Windows 2000 Server (PROBLEM!!!) Word document has 1 page - I print 100 copies Result is: Pages Printed: 1 - Total pages: 1 - Copies 1 (????) and even more confusing Windows 2000 Client using shared printer from Windows 2000 Server (OK) Word document has 2 pages (more than 1 is enough) - I print 100 copies Result is: Pages Printed: 200 - Total pages: 1 - Copies 1 (This is also OK for me since I just want to know the number of pages printed) Both server and client are running Windows 2000 SP4 Office verison is 2000 with all SPs but this shouldn't matter since it also happens using notepad,... Also when watching the printer queue in Windows you can see the same information that I explained above. Why does Windows tell that there is just one page printed even if I print 100 copies from a client machine using the shared printer? Is this a bug - and is there a hotfix or some sort of workaround for this? Thank you for your help! Thomas Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29534

I've looked through PASSTHRU (nice pun =) ) recently and found out, that it conflicts with PnP section of IM drivers. 1.DDK states: "No Receives nor Status should be indicated while virtual miniport of NDIS intermediate driver is sleeping" PASSTHRU checks for MPDeviceState at the ProtocolStatus and not retranslates it up when virtual miniport is sleeping, but does not do this for its ProtocolReceive. Is it a bug? 2. DDK states: "No sends nor queries (requests) should be send to lower driver while protocol part of NDIS intermediate driver is sleeping" Again, PASSTHRU checks for PTDeviceState in MiniportSetInformation/MiniportQueryInformation, but does not check it in the MiniportSend nor MiniportSendPackets.

    - CYPRESS USB DRIVER Hi all, Let me go right to the point. 1) Is there any substitution for ezusb driver such that allows asynchronous bulk transfers? 2) When the request (for bulk transfer) stalls what is the best way to cancel the request? 3) Suppose I need to arm the driver (issue bulk request for reading to the host) and after that issue interrupt request to the periph to start writing the data. So far with blocked transfer mode, my second request is not sent because host is stalled on the first request. The first request could not be satisfied because only after the second request is sent the data will start coming. If I would have driver with asyncronous capabilities could the second request be processed ealier? (are all requests passed through the same driver's queue in first-in first-out fashion?). I guess if I will send the second request from the other thread it will go to the different driver's queue and can be processed ealier but I don't want to do it becasue of the possible race conditions. Thank You, Dmitri. Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29500

    - Using IPrintOemUni::ImageProcessing and soft fonts I am trying to use IPrintOemUni::ImageProcessing combined with soft fonts to use unidrv to drive a printer which requires custom compression of low resolution (images, lineart) data as well as custom compression of high resolution (ie font) data. I was hoping to compress the low-res data in ImageProcessing() and then use the TTDOWNLOAD_TTOUTLINE option of TTDownloadMethod() to get the font data separately through calls to OutputCharStr(). However when I try this I find that OutputCharStr() is never called and the text is always rendered at the low resolution. Is what I want to do possible?

    - Watchdog in WinXP Hi, I want to know if there are any ways to tweak the Windows Watchdog registers/values. One of our Driver functions takes up more than 15seconds (WAtchdog timer value), to complete its operation. And hence the Watchdog fires and the system bugchecks with THREAD_STRUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER. As I cannot reduce the execution time in my driver, I want to know, if there are any interfaces to tweak watchdog registers or parameters if watchdog is emulated in software. Regards, ashok.

    - USB BULK speed, driver hello, I am developing driver for CYPRESS USB2.0 FX2, EP2, BULK IN, My problem is that I must do BULK_READ within every melliSecond or even 500uS or less. Otherwise the data will losed between two BULK_READ, because the FIFO in CYPRESS FX2 is very small. How can I do that? Is it possible to let the Driver continuesly do BULK_READ, and fill an ring_buffer? time between 2 BULK_READ must be 1ms or less. thank you very much. william Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29488

    - Where to start learning to program drivers I'm an applications developer and have been for 15 or so years. I'm finding it necessary in my job to work on drivers, including writing a brand new one from scratch. The only experience I have writing drivers is for the old MacOS where I could do whatever I wanted with no real kernel to speak of. With Windows it seems to be a very different story. Where should I begin when learning how to develop drivers for Windows. 9x and 2k/XP? ( I really don't care about NT 3/4 right now ). Are there any books that start from the basics and go from there? I don't need a "for dummies" book but I do need something that starts from the beginning and ends with most of what I need to know to write a fully functional driver. Thanks, Janik Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29465

    - ndisuio.sld The NDISUIO sample in XP DDK includes a file with .sld extension (ndisuio.sld). Does anyone know what is this file used for? It certainly is an XML file with a different extension... Thanks, -Prabhu Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29453

    - INF XP and 2000 1) How to have XP and 2000 use same INF file. I know we can use OS decorators in sections to keep one INF for both OS. But decorators like .NT, .x86 cannot separate XP from 2000. Is it .xp for XP sections and .NT for NT and 2000? I dont worry about 98 and ME. 2) Can we have different version sections for different OS in same INF. I want to use different class GUIDs for different OS. 3) What should be the classname for 1394 device driver (NOT Host controller driver). I tried 1394Test and chkinf raises error message 'obsolete or unknown class name'. Thanks for the comments. Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29452

    - Two devices in one driver Hello, I need create two device objects in one driver (keyboard filter), first device object is upper keyboard filter and second device object will be used to communicate with user mode application. I never created two device objects in one driver, how I may do it? How I may write dispatch routines? May one dispatch routine serve two device objects, or every device object must have its own dispatch routine? Thanks, Marian. Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29426

    - PageSize units inconsistancy? UniDrv and .NET We are developing an application that automatically prints pages based on data retrieved from a database. The data includes the printer name and the desired page size. Our printer doesn't support any standard page sizes. We've created our own printer driver based on UniDriver. The printing application can successfully select the desired printer. However, selecting the desired page size doesn't work. We're trying to select the page size using the PaperSize.PaperName property. Here's the C# code: // m_PrinterName is the name recognized by Windows // pageSizeName is the name of the page size matching that in the GPD file. // debug only - look at current default paper size. PaperSize psDefault = pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize; // Create a PrintDocument PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); // Use a standard print controller - to avoid the status/cancel dialog pd.PrintController = new StandardPrintController(); // Set the printer name (from the printer device object) // This name must match the installed Windows printer. pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = m_PrinterName; if( !pd.PrinterSettings.IsValid ) { // Log the error and then quit } foreach( PaperSize psize in pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes ) { if( psize.PaperName == pageSizeName ) { pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = ps; // select this one break; } } The interesting thing here is that the units for the sizes (width and height) are not consistant. For the particular test that I'm running I know that the paper size desired is the same as the default size for the printer. But when I look at the properties of the default paper size (psDefault above) and the selected size in the list (when psize.PaperName == pageSizeName ) they don't match: default selected kind: 0x103 0x94 width: 0xde4 = 3556 0x578 = 1400 height: 0x10de = 4318 0x6a4 = 1700 name: "custom" "14INX17IN" The size units for the default appear to be hundredths of centimeters, while the size units for the selected paper size are hundredths of inches. But using the selected paper size doesn't work (the page is too small). The driver seems to want the metric size. The documentation indicates that sizes should be hundredths of inches and that's the unit used in the rendering code. Any idea what's happening here?

    - Differences between inf installation in w98/ME and 2000/XP Hi, Thanks everyone who helped me with some problems some time ago. I built a wizard for installing modem - based on inf files included by manufacturer. It runs properly on 2000/XP, but fails on w98/me. The basic schema is like this: - InstallHInfSection (copies files) - optionally remove "unknown devices" - i.e. modems not properly installed (SetupDiGetClassDevsEx, CM_Get_DevNode_Status_Ex, SetupDiCallClassInstaller - with remove flag) - reenumerate dev node - for root - scans system for new devices This schema installs modem properly on 2000/XP, but fails on W98/ME Last step sometimes runs scanning, sometimes not, and even if it starts the scan, the new hardware wizard shows up and asks for the path to inf file. Could you please help with that? -- K. Support bacteria -- it's the only culture some people have! Tag: Problem about NT SCSI disk filter driver Tag: 29415

Hello,

I have written a scsi virtual disk miniport driver and a filter driver
to intercepte all srbs that sent to this virtual disk device by attaching
itself to the disk device object, but i find that can not intercept
SCSIOP_READ and SCSIOP_WRITE. However, i can intercepte
IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL and IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL(function is 1,
perhaps is claiming device to disk class). why this happened? what other i
should consider?
BTW, my OS is NT SP6.
Any comments or concern will be appreciated .

Thanks.
David Yan
