* 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.
* It appears that 1.5TB and 2TB HDDs, accessed trough some Seagate ow WD USB ↔ SATA
controllers, can report that 0 bytes were written on WriteFile(), even though all
the data was effectively written. 1TB HDDs, accessed through the same controller,
do not report this issue. So add a workaround for that.
* Also see #787
* 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
* Fix disappearance of "Start" button when selecting an ISO with
no target (reported by Sopor)
* Add commented sample ini file
* Add AC_PROG_AR macro in configure.ac
* Update ChangeLog for BETA
* MinGW's gcc 4.9.2 seems to implement a broken "%lld" format 64 bit integer is
followed by more variables and the app executes on XP => use PRI macros
* Also fix partition ID being ignored when using Rufus MBR
* Also fix some global vars shadowing and add other improvements
* 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
* Remove the need to maintain a new_translation.loc
* Add a sed invocation to remove comments and unwanted stuff
to generate a final embedded.loc
* Note: sed is only invoked for MinGW.
MS compilers still embed the unmodified rufus.loc.
* Also fix a small bug when parsing the version.
* Use IOCTL_DISK_UPDATE_PROPERTIES after partitioning
* Use IOCTL_DISK_DELETE_DRIVE_LAYOUT to invalidate partitions before formatting
* Fix handling of unpartitioned drives
* Increase delay after partitioning
* All of the above should help with the infamous #122
* Also fix display of error messages in ms-sys' file.c as well as stdio.c
* Also add commandline option -f to list fixed drives
* 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
* When using Win7 installation ISOs, XP would return the error:
[0x00000456] The media in the drive may have changed
* This seems to be due to unmounting of the drive before writing
the PBR
* Also, our ms-sys/NTFS code wasn't identifying NTFS properly on XP
