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.		2023-09-24 23:42:32 -04:00
