mmm ok.

The basic thing that i need is to give for each drive the possibility to
deny the access to the hardware (drive must appear like a physically
disconnected device). An advanced things could be the possibility to deny
write or deny read.. (could write to a disk without read it.. or
viceversa). I need to build (or found a source code to learn how to do
this.. i could need to grow its features) a device driver that follow this
scheme:

[Windows or Other Device driver] -------------[My Device
Driver]------------------[Hardaware]

|
[Filtering operation, deny write,deny read, or
basically deny access to the hardware]


I need to do this to develop a little solution to deny the access to the
hardare when a proprietary driver (or the windows driver) is used to access
the hardware (like
some cd burning suite, or disk crypting software.. or in case of windows
driver access, when the user click on "my computer").


Thank you for your support, and sorry again for my english :-)
