If you connect an unrecognized block device to a Windows CE-based device, the Device Manager queries you to locate the appropriate block driver DLL. The Device Manager then calls that driver's Install_Driver function entry point.
The Install_Driver function should ensure that any necessary data files install correctly and it should create the relevant registry keys for the block device under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers registry key.
Block drivers that are part of your OS design do not need to have an Install_Driver function, only drivers for after-market block devices need an Install_Driver function.
