Re: doubt in pnp manager

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Ya I understand that hot plug drives are supported in the system.
But I just wanted to know the number of partitions at the boot time.
after that if I add a new partition I dont care.
what happens is in my filter driver I start my initilization process after
one minute assuming that pnp manager does all its enumeratio within one
minute.
but say when I have around 50 partitions I see that one minute is not
aufficient.
I am not sure how long should I wait for that.
I wanted to start my work only after pnp enumerates all the partition at the
boot time.

You cannot know this, some systems have hot plug drives (everything from USB
to high end SAN storage).

say if I have 100 partitions in my system.How long will it take for the
pnp
manager to enumerate all the partitions???
will it give any signal saying that I have enumerated all the boot time
partitions so that I can use the the signal in my filter driver.
Is there any registry key in windows that gives us the number of
partitions
in the system.
I wanted to know the number of partitions in the system at the boot time
itself so that I can use that data in my filter driver which sits below
file
system driver.

Thanks in advance
