how pen drive is detected

(1/1)

visual:
i just want to know which processes are checked or executed in operating system(Explain with windows and Linux both) if a pen drive is inserted . Where from it gets the information that the pen drive is of "what space(i.e it is of 4 gb )" and how it knows that the pen drive is having "which file system(ntfs, fat,ext2 etc.)".

Fatman:
You would be looking for information on USB Mass storage drivers in particular, followed by general disk handling in those OS'es.  I don't think this is quite the forum to find what you are looking for.
