Block Driver Manager (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

When the system loads a block driver, the system informs the Storage Manager of the load event. The Storage Manager consists of the Block Driver Manager, the Partition Manager, and the File System Driver (FSD) Manager. For more information, see Storage Manager.

When a block driver loads, the Storage Manager queries the block driver and the registry and informs the Partition Manager, which is responsible for managing logical partitions on a storage device, to load the device.

You can use the storage APIs to enumerate and manage various block storage devices that the system mounts.

You cannot enumerate storage devices that do not have a block driver.
