'Fake' the freespace of a hdd
-
Hey, basically what I am trying is to modify the data of a harddrive. I want it to show more free space than it has, i know it would be only visually but that's exactly what I am trying to do. OS would be windows server 2008, if that matters. How would I go about doing this? I tried to google but couldn't really find anything neccessary. Thanks

The only way that comes to mind is to add a filter to the driver and fake up the size when the driver responds to an IOCTL for the freespace. You need to read up on Windows Driver Development Kit.

In just your application, or do you want Windows to "lie" too?
