New workflow: actually make something before creating a Git repo with lofty goals.. Wow what a wonderful idea!!!!! Anyway I wanted to make Windows XP installation media on a USB device (well, an SD card.. long story and Tumblr post soon). This requires some patching of the bootloader, but all the ready-made tools for this are Windows-only, including Rufus, probably the best one. I don't have a Windows installation funnily enough, so I looked at Rufus's source code and extracted/adapted the functionality I needed in this Rust project. I'm thinking of making a Rust alternative to Rufus which works in some multiplatform way, or at least enough to support running on POSIX platforms, like Linux.

kernelpanic ee513d7d0c Support custom bootloader *and* installer disk number. 
For weird systems where NTLDR sees a different order of disks than the installer. I think the Windows XP RTM (original release/service pack 0) installer tends to do this.
