Windows Ram Disk Device Driver

I need a RAM Disk device driver for Windows XP that does that following: Should function as a normal disk is all respects - unless there are good reasons for not not having some features. Should have the usual disk structure - FAT32 or NTFS. Disk size should also be configurable. The entire ram disk has a mirror image which is stored on a hard disk which is loaded at system start and written back on system shutdown. The name and location would also be configurable. Some sort of mechanism for a Windows program to pass special commands to the driver. One of these will be a built in command to perform immediate backup of disk image whilst suspending any current disk activity. Driver to keep statistics of all operations so performance can be monitored. This is to be extracted and reset by a Windows program. I'm a novice as far as device drivers go, so I will keen to take advice from the developer. As well as using this driver I'd want to learn how it works and tinker with it, so good code documentation is required. At a later date I'd probably want Windows 2000 and NT versions as well. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. ## Platform Windows XP MS VC++
