* 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
* Fix missing DD-Image option when no drive is present
* Prevent formatting of a drive when using an image residing on same drive
* Fix ignored bootable checkbox when using a DD-Image
* Fix wrong title for error messages (due to too many concurrent loc messages)
* 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)
* Closes#310
* Alt-I can now be used to disable ISO support. This is meant to be
used for dual ISO/DD images so that DD (disk image) mode will be used
* Also issue a message in the log to indicate whether slow or quick format is used
* Also change the cheat mode keys for force update and proper unit to C and U
* ReFS only applies for drives that are larger than 512MB
* Also fix error handling and messages in format.c
* Also add Alt-Q cheat mode for proper size units, and improve human readable size output
* Listing an unpartitioned could result in all controls besides
drive selection dropdown being blank
* The bad blocks report was not displaying the right values
* Also update version to Rufus next
* 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
* Also try to ignore autorun.inf issues from idiotic antivirus solutions, when writing ISOs
* Also remove the columns in the English labels (improves high DPI display)
* Also update additional ISO related messages to make them more generic
* 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 addresses the issue reported in #274:
Unable to access kernel32 DLL: [0x0000007F] The specified procedure could not be found.
* Problem was introduced in 897becd290 which was added for #189.
* 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
* Attempt to remount the drive in case of failure (Closes#270)
* Minor fixes to localization
* Fix errors not being properly reported in DownloadFile()
* Also update ChangeLog.txt for beta
* 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
* This slowdown was introduced in 897becd290 as the use of
SetThreadUILanguage apparently incurs a massive performance drawback.
* Closes#259
* Also fix a possible issue where the blocking operation message could appear twice
* Also improve the French translation
* Also fix percentage not being displayed when using slow format
* Also use GetUserDefaultUILanguage() rather than GetUserDefaultLCID()
to get the user preferred locale.
* Closes#189
* 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
* Use .bss and .sys from Syslinux v5.10
* Advanced options allow you to choose between v4 and v5
* Rufus does not currently copy any ldlinux.c32 to the target
* 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
* Contains the bulk of the code required to address #11
* Tested with Windows 8 Pro x64 (en-gb_windows_8_x64_dvd_915412.iso)
and Arch Linux (archlinux-2013.01.04-dual.iso) against an UEFI 2.1 BIOS
* Also fixes missing status report beta versions check
* Use \i386 always through SetupSourceDevice in txtsetup.sif
and prevent deletion of install directory
* Removed setupdd.sy_ patch. Now, none of the files in \i386 are modified
* Better /minint detection for MBR setup
* Also fixed an issue where mbr.bin resources would not be included
* 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
* 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
* 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
* 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
* Allow the use of vanilla Syslinux by creating a /syslinux.cfg
that references isolinux.cfg
* Fix#40 and #42
* Workaround for #44 by search and replace of ISO label in .cfg
* ISO9660 Joliet fixes
* scan would fail on lowercase vs mixed case dir name comparison
due to Joliet (eg. using Slackware 13.37 ISO)
* extraction would fail for 4 GB ISO9660 ISOs
* also fixes cases issue when checking for isolinux/bootmgr
* also don't restrict NTFS labels
* DOS creation was broken due to missing unlock + close
* added label validation to prevent errors
* added ellipsis to status bar
* also bumped version to rufus next and fixed f/non-f
* bootmgr ISOs only
* extraction and ISO support UI improvements
* UTF8 support through CreateFileU
* cancellation on ISO file extraction
* switch to using CreateThread
* Disk Drive ID fixup for FAT32 was already available in ms-sys with option -p
* modified code to add FAT16 as well as FAT32 support as well as minor fixes
* reverts previous patch write_fat_32_br() and write_fat_16_br()
* fixed issue #16 - crash during format on XP
* fixed issue #17 - non bootable drives when created in XP
* for more info on the problem and fix, see the issues above
* follow what MS/FormatEx actually allow
* closes#15
* also fixed potential empty selection in cluster size dropdown
* also improved Local Group Policy handling
* progress bar now reflects actual completion of process more closely
* dropped the use of UM_FORMAT_PROGRESS and introduced UpdateProgress() instead
* also reduced the number of rw test patterns from 4 to 2
* after a bb check, MBR could become garbage
* when that occurs, Windows might interpret a bad partition table and prevent MBR from being properly written
* force a complete zeroing of the whole MBR before partitioning to fix this
* also added error code for bb
