* 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
