Hi:

I beleive this is not true. There are operating systems (at least I could name one) with all the drivers running in user mode leaving only a minimal kernel. Is sort of a client-server model, and yes with protection for file/folders. Now the ROS boot loader first loads kernel-hal-fat driver-... It has to, otherwise how would you load the filesystem driver? Now switching  ring 0 <-> ring 3 with that in RAM... If you also load ntdll that way. Hmmm Why not? I beleive that is enought to read/write something to disk.

Waldo
