* The root of the issue is that Windows IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK does not properly
zero all of the MBR/GPT/PBR structure with PARTITION_STYLE_RAW (which is what
diskpart uses to clean a disk), and leaves plenty of partition artefacts behind.
* This means that, when an image with complex partitioning has been applied, such
as Chromium/ChromeOS, you may end up with a drive that can not be repartitioned
or reformatted in Windows (and this is completely independent of whether Rufus
was used to perform these operations - For instance you will get the same issue
if you use Win32DiskImager and diskpart + clean).
* The only option left for users then is to reset/repartition their drives in Linux
or some other OS, as Windows' VDS becomes incapacitated to handle the drive, as
the problem persists independently of reset/re-plug/Windows platform being used.
* To work around this, we ensure that we zero the MBR/GPT/PBR sectors BEFORE calling
IOCTL_DISK_CREATE_DISK.
* Also move zeroing of the drive before partition reset.
* Closes#759
* Also fix the VID:PID population of USB card readers
* Also improve enumeration debugging
* Also add an unofficial cheat mode to list non USB *REMOVABLE* drives
* Closes#693
* 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.
* This creates issue due to dism incompatibilities between Windows versions
and some users are puzzled why they don't see their internal disks.
* Also make the bcdboot call more robust by using the system one if the USB one fails
* Also fix small issues in RunCommand() and MountVolume()
* It was set to EFI System, however the Windows installer fails if it
detects 2 EFI system partitions on the same system (and it creates
one during standard installation).
* This caused UEFI/GPT/NTFS installation to fail with Rufus 2.0
* Closes#461
* Also add the missing copyright notices for Grub4DOS and GRUB2
* 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
* Add Windows To Go tooltips
* Set UEFI:TOGO partition type to EFI System Partition
* Improve apply-image progress report
* Fix MBR analysis for 4k disks
* Do not select Rufus MBR for Windows To Go
* Ignore partitions we don't care about
* Fix issues with AltMountVolume()
* Try to support 4k drives when setting up MS EFI partition
* Zero the start of the MSR partition to prevent leftover detection
* Fix unwanted use of MBR hidden sectors and redundant CloseHandle()
* Fix addon of BIOS compatibility extra partition
* Print apply image progress to info box
* This allows no-sweat UEFI support of Windows installation ISOs
that contain a >4GB file for instance
* This is done through UEFI:TOGO (https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-togo)
and the efifs NTFS driver (http://efi.akeo.ie)
* Closes#414
* This will also be part of our implementation of #126
* Having AutoMount disabled when a Fixed drive is being used can
result in a failure during formatting (issue #386).
* Also set explicit FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL flag an normalize CreateFile usage
* Closes#386
* Add logic to mount/remount a DD image if it contains a partition we can handle
* Clear GPT structures before copying DD image in case it doesn't overwrites them
* Add a call to refresh the drive layout after copying a DD image
* Move the unlocking of logical drive further down. This may help with the
infamous "device in use by another process" error.
* It looks like some disks may report a sector size of zero
* Hopefully, this will address #352 (but some report about the
detected sector size from people observing the crash would be nice)
* Try IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX if IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY fails in Large Fat32 code
* Report actual IOCTL errors
* Use a larger buffer for geometry
* Also add (guessed) FCC_DEVICE_NOT_READY handling to FormatEx
* Thanks to MS' shortsightedness, neither of IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS
or IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER alone are enough to retrieve a disk number:
IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER doesn't work for LVM drives and
IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS doesn't work for USB fixed drives, so we
must use both. Isn't it great?
* Closes#292
* Also fix an issue with hotplug due to WM_DEVICECHANGE being filtered out
* Also improve AnalyzeMBR() and prevent failure on WriteMBR
* Also fix a couple issues with ISO and Syslinux handling
* Also remove "smart" uncheck of disabled checkboxes - not worth it
* Only as a cheat mode (Alt-N)
* Also fixes inconsistent MBR partition numbering
* Also update a comment in vhd.c about callback progress (thanks to Erwan)
* This ensures that an MBR/UEFI UFD can only ever be booted in EFI mode
* Also fix an issue where the same drive was not properly detected ("U:" vs "U:\")
* Also update ReactOS copyright and fix a warning from Cppcheck in parser.c
* 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
* Fix an issue where the parsed drive_type was from the wrong drive
and remove the global variable
* Add a size check for the score, as well as a GetDriveSize call
* Also update the French translation to v1.0.3
* Initial scoring to try to differentiate UFDs from HDDs (#219)
* Also improve GetDriveLetter() and add a global for fixed vs removable
* Also fix a bug with reporting of VID:PID with multiple devices
* Also fix a warning in localization
* Only supported on Vista or later
* Also disable exFAT for XP (requires a KB => not worth it)
* Also improve display of partition data for type 0x07
* Also fix and issue where exFAT/UDF would try to modify PBR
* Also logically move and simplify some of the code
* Closes#157
* Use retries when locking the volume
* Wait for volume availability after partitioning
* Don't halt on errors that can be ignored
* Other small improvements and fixes
* The above should help with addressing #122
* 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
* Raise the size of vesamenu.c32 threshold, a per #140
* Fix a missing backslash when checking for autorun.inf
* Only set boot flag is requested by the user
* Better split of physical vs logical
* Add handling of unmounted volumes by GUID
* Force large FAT32 cheat mode
* Improve user messages and fix some UI issues
* eg. GPT drives with no partitions were not enumerated by default
* fixed disk mode needs to be enabled for this detection to occur
* also fix the unwanted use of a drive letter in GetDrivePartitionData
* also add a check for going over MAX_DRIVES
* also fix improper separator line in FreeDOS menu due to UTF-8 source
* closes#124
* update copyright year
* switch relevant files to UTF-8 (without signature).
It's 2013 for crying out loud: if your file editor or file viewer
can't handle plain UTF-8, go back to the 1980s!
* also rename autogen.sh to bootstrap.sh
* without the marker, an UFD created as MBR for UEFI will be seen
as MBR for BIOS + UEFI. We want Rufus to be able to select the
settings that were used for the drive creation.
* Also hides #116 under the carpet and fix non RUFUS_DEBUG compilation
* add readout and display of extended autorun.inf label if available
* use improved isolinux config parsing
* also fix an issue that could leave drive unmounted on forced removal
* also add Alt-F cheatmode to toggle detection of fixed USB disks
* Our detection code, which is based on the HPUSBFW utility, allows fixed
drives such as USB HDDs to be listed
* Since Rufus lacks extra precautions for fixed disks, this may result in
people mistakenly formatting and HDD instead of a flash drive
* Until we have added HDD specific features (support for repartitioning or
existing partitions, >32GB FAT32, etc.) we prefer playing it safe by
not listing fixed disks.
* We will re-enable fixed disks when we feel enough safeties are in place
* Also fix an issue where ISO selection could crash if Rufus
was compiled for Vista and later and update version to rufus-next
* Creates an UTF-16 autoconf.inf with label, as well as autoconf.ico
* also fixed extended labels not displaying - closes#48
* also bumped version to rufus-next
* also factorized iso props analysis
* additional fixes
* STORAGE_DEVICE_NUMBER.DeviceNumber is not unique! Optical drives and
HDDs can have the same number
* Use GetDriveType() to filter unwanted devices
* closes#32
* closes#22 (missing CloseHandle for FreeDOS' AUTOEXEC.BAT)
* split rufus and rufus_fd solution files (VS2010)
* error messages small improvements
* since we're on Windows, use .txt extension for README and TODO
