Writing File System Driver & Creating Virtual Disk Drive in Windows XP [Question by a Novice]

Hello,
I am new to Windows Device Drivers/Internals.
We (a group of friends) want to do a project for windows XP, which can
be summarised as follows
1. When our code will run, it will identify all the hard-disk
partitions, and will detect the file systems in the each partition
2. After that, for ReiserFS partitions, ( virtual ) drives [like C: D:
etc.] will be created, which can be seen in Windows Explorer.
3. When user will double click on this drive or directories/files in
this drive a reiserfs-read-call [coded by us in this utility] will be
called to read the contents of the directory/files.
Thus an user can browse ReiserFS (a linux file system) from Windows XP
in windows explorer.
*** So Question is How To proceed about writing such kind of File
System Driver?
*** How much time will be required to code such a driver?
Please help, suggest some links because we all are new to this type of
work.
Thanking You and Hoping for reply,
Ashish
