What is a good resource to get started with Windows file system driver development for a newbie?
The source code of Windows implementation of ext2 file system might be useful.
But as Mike B correctly mention this is extremely complex area to enter, I would strongly suggest to learn some basic driver development concepts and write few not file system drivers before you start file system driver development.
If you do this for commercial use and not for learning purposes i would suggest outsourcing this work.This will be most cost effective way to go.
