Re: Can kernel mode call Win32 API ?

Yes, look at ZwCreateFile, ZwWriteFile, ZwReadFile and ZwClose. They are
very similar to the Win32 functions. Other ZwXXX calls may also be of
interest.

This has been answered many times the answer is NO. If you need a

that does not have a kernel mode equivalent, you either need to write
your
own or use a helper application to perform that work for the driver.
