* This should produce the same output while improving compatibility with systems that have a broken VGA implementation.
* Also fix an LD error with newer gcc toolchains.
* GRUB have cherry-picked patches from the "BootHole" vulnerability fix at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2020-07/msg00034.html and
have applied them to their 2.04 GRUB loader.
* This results in breakage with "error: symbol 'grub_calloc' not found" when
using the release GRUB 2.04 version of core.img.
* Therefore, we too cherry-picked some patches to apply on top of GRUB 2.04
release to make our core.img compatible with Ubuntu 20.10.
* Closes#1616
* Also increase the maximum write stride for ms-sys to 64 KB (required to
write the GRUB 2.05 bootloader which is larger than 32 KB) and update hash DB.
* We distractedly chose to populate the message from our protective MBR
for GPT/UEFI-only boot media into the 4KB that directly followed the
MBR, which of course is space that is being used by the primary GPT.
* This resulted on systems having to fall back to using the secondary
GPT, which not all appear to be designed to do.
* Alter the code to ensure the protective message is written at LBA 34,
after the primary GPT.
* Closes#1507
* This should help Windows users who create a GPT/UEFI drive and try to use it in BIOS/Legacy
* Also make sure that we take into account the split space for both "SELECT" and "DOWNLOAD"
* Windows MBRs contain localised strings which mean the bytes between the
executable code and the disk signature / partition table can change depending
on locale. This patch adds lengths to reflect the offsets which are the same
for every locale, and only compares these lengths when detecting existing
Windows MBRs.
* Also update Bled to latest, as well as build scripts
* Note: Considering that Visual Studio 2015 is both freely and legally
available for anyone who wants to use it to compile Rufus, starting
with this commit, I will NOT be supporting any other version of Visual
Studio but 2015.
* Also fix Grub4DOS and Grub2.0 versioning issues
* Also ensures that operation gets canceled on missing download
* Also fix German translation and remove trailing whitespaces in .loc file
* Also fix inverted display status for VMWare disk detection
* A new "ReactOS" is now available under "Create a bootable disk" when running in advanced mode.
* Using this option will install the ReactOS bootblocks (MBR & FAT PBR) _only_.
You can then copy freeldr.sys and freeldr.ini to make the drive bootable.
* Also move Rufus MBR installation to ms-sys, and remove mbr.bin resource.
* Also add Rufus MBR detection, remove duplicate records and display MBR type on drive detection
* Also move PBR and MBR analysis calls to drive.c and add a drive.h header
* Also make extraction of embedded loc file more robust
* Adds USB masquerading according to disk ID in USB part table
* Adds debug feature
* Closes#74 - was due to flags not being properly saved/restored
* Closes#71
* Fixes reentrant INT_13h for some platforms (eg. IBM t43p reenters
INT_13h to issue an SCSI passthrough, AH=0x50)
* Embed MBR as a resource rather than an ms-sys header
* 32 bit bad blocks check is too limited for large drives
and result in erroneous computations
* 32 bit also means that 2TB would be absolute limit, which
may be too low in case for USB HDD checks
* This fix makes bad blocks check and related calls 64 bit compliant
* also improve on bad block reports
