This function is called by a device driver to load its associated file system driver (FSD). This function is obsolete. Instead, place a storage class identifier in the device driver registry setting to notify Storage Manager of the block driver being loaded. Storage Manager then parses the partitions and loads the appropriate file system.

Syntax 

BOOL LoadFSD(
  HANDLE 
hDevice, 
  LPCWSTR 
lpFSDName
);

Parameters

hDevice

[in] Handle to a registered device, obtained when a block device driver is called with the DISK_IOCTL_INITIALIZED I/O control.

lpFSDName

[in] Pointer to the name of the FSD to load.

Return Value

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure.

Remarks

This function is called by a block device driver to load an FSD. For example, the block device driver Atadisk.dll loads the FSD Fatfs.dll.

Requirements

Header winbase.h
Library coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 2.10 and later
