Maybe the RAMDISK sample in the NT 4.0 DDK can be of some help
(...\src\storage\disk\ramdisk).

IIRC, the RAMDISK source code is *very* small and simple. Now if you
would just write to a file instead of using memory...

However, I have no clue if the programming model used by RAMDISK is
still accurate for W2K/XP.
