Hello all!

I need to protect SD cards by password on Windows. I’ve tried to use SFF ioctl “IOCTL_SFFDISK_DEVICE_PASSWORD”, but in the best case I’ve got system error 87 (invalid argument) from “DeviceIoControl”.

Has somebody any working code where is is used DeviceIoControl with the control code IOCTL_SFFDISK_DEVICE_COMMAND ?

Even part of working sample with only DeviceIoControl call and its parameters is welcome. I can’t find invalid parameter in my code.

Thank you all!

Why not using with data encryption instead of protecting the access to the whole device?

... or put a TrueCrypt archive on it. It presents itself as a normal file system, just with encryption and password access.
