* Remove early locking of logical volume (no longer necessary due to previous commits).
* Relax exclusive locking of physical drive when an ESP is created.
* This should help with #1637 and #1640
* Also add an extra check for sector size in WriteDrive()
* Factorize drive letter removal into a RemoveDriveLetters() call.
* Improve MountVolume() and RemountVolume() calls.
* Also bump Rufus version to 3.13
* Make sure that instantiated objects are released.
* Factorize the instantiating of disk interfaces.
* Allow the provision of an offset to delete a single partition.
* Add a ListVdsVolumes() call (which is pointless since Microsoft *CRIPPLED* its VDS implementation).
* SetAutoMount()/GetAutoMount() should check for INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and not NULL.
Also we don't actually need to open MOUNTMGR_DOS_DEVICE_NAME rw to issue an IOCTL.
* ToggleEsp() failed to exit properly when an ESP offset was specified.
* Introduce PI_MAX to explicitly set the size of the partition_information table.
* write_sectors() has write retry, so there's no need to perform one on top of it.
* When we exit FormatThread(), GetLogicalName() should attempt to look for the the
main partition and be silent.
* A user is reporting that, on one of their platforms, Rufus is writing to the wrong target during the file-copy
phase and using their existing Y: local drive instead of the drive associated to the USB, despite the fact
that Rufus is passing the right volume name to GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName().
* Here's the PowerShell wmic output, confirming that the volume GUID obtained by Rufus is the right one:
DriveLetter : Y:
DeviceId : \\?\Volume{000349b1-17d0-69f6-c13f-f31162930600}\
Capacity : 118540464128
FileSystem : NTFS
Label : Y-DISK
DriveLetter : H:
DeviceId : \\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\
Capacity : 15791824896
FileSystem : FAT32
Label : ADATA16GB
* And here's the Rufus log demonstrating that GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName() is returning the *WRONG* letter:
Found volume \\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\
\\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\ is already mounted as Y: instead of H: - Will now use this target instead...
* The last line shows, without the shadow of a doubt, that we did feed "\\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\" to
GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName() and that this API call was successful (returned a non zero size) but ultimately returned
the wrong letter (Y: instead of H:)...
* Therefore, Windows is BUGGY and the use of GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName() must be avoided.
* This is mostly aimed at Debian 11 netinst on the Raspberry Pi 4
* Only available for regular UEFI ISOs if GPT and FAT are selected (no MBR ESPs).
* Also fix a MinGW warning in GetUnusedDriveLetter()
* ASLR is enabled by default for Visual Studio builds but that isn't the case
for MinGW builds. Fix that and also add -Wformat-security while we're at it.
* Closes#1518
* Also ensure that we'll never write protective MBR message for non-bootable
GPT drives, even as we are not calling WriteSBR() for those anyway.
* Also fix SBR message not being written for bootable images
* Also add an extra partition refresh after deleting partitions to try
to further force Windows take its stinking paws off our drive.
* 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
* If a converted label contains mostly underscore, the proposed
label is used for FAT32 instead. However this label still has
the KB/MB/GB symbols localized so it may be invalid.
* Ensure that we use a non-localized version of the size when
using such a label.
* Closes#1506.
* Also fix a VS2019 static analysis warning in net.c.
* Surround macro params to ensure expected results
* Fix copy-paste errors
* Fix a potential buffer overflow in SetSectionHeaders()
* Add const modifier where relevant
* Use GetWindowLongPtr() everywhere
* Use proper sprintf format for unsigned int
* Use %s for printf-like funcs (https://www.viva64.com/en/w/v618/print/)
* Closes#1464
* Hopefully using DICS_FLAG_CONFIGSPECIFIC instead of DICS_FLAG_GLOBAL is all that was needed
to get device disabling/re-enabling work without creating zombie devices, because we sure
need to force Windows' hand when it comes to detecting logical volumes...
* ClearMBRGPT() attempts to write WRITE_RETRIES times, even if all those times succeed.
* Instead, skip the remaining retries on success.
* Also improve code readability.
* Closes#1454
* Fix use of EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE() instead of EXT2_INODE_SIZE() during inode
initialization, that made us zero way many more blocks than was needed.
* Also disable sparse_super feature and improve block setup.
* Also explicitly use IS_POWER_OF_2 macro where required.
* Only applies for blank UEFI:NTFS drives for now. UEFI:NTFS Windows drives are
still set to use NTFS only (since Windows 7 doesn't support UEFI exFAT boot).
* Windows platforms prior to Windows 10 1703 cannot access any logical partition besides the
first one (we don't even get a volume for those).
* This fix enables the use of physical + offset for ext# formatting to work around this,
which is file since we don't actually need to mount the partition.
* Also fix ext2fs_open2() not handling normalized versions of Windows drive paths ("\\?\...")
* Also fix an issue where we would make the drive letter unavailable after formatting a
standalone partition to ext#.
* Also ensure that we return an error if the drive we attempt to locate a partition on
through an offset does not match the currently selected one.
* Also remove some unused calls in drive.c.
* Closes#1374
* You can use <Alt> to switch modes during an operation that supports it (e.g. Checksum
computation, DD image writing or zeroing, save to VHD, download, etc.
* IMPORTANT: This is *NOT* available for all operations. Especially, if you were hoping
to get transfer speed or ETA during ISO or WIM extraction, you *WILL* be disappointed.
* Also harmonize the code in checksum.c
* This is to avoid Microsoft's appalling refresh of the partition layout,
which can result in partitions not being assigned a volume GUID.
* Mostly reverts a change that was applied in 1c39a80d72.
* Also add some more enum output and bail if we can't get a logical drive.
* Closes#1351
* Only UEFI boot for now (GRUB) & requires a post 2019.07.26 ISO for Ubuntu.
* This adds the relevant persistence/persistent kernel option to the conf file, sets the
expected volume label and creates a /persistence.conf file where needed.
* Also improve token parsing by ensuring a token is followed by at least one white space.
* Only enabled when Advanced format options are shown
* Also enable reading of extfs volume label
* Also improve GRUB lookup fallback
* Also fix possible truncation when sanitizing labels
* Also write a zeroed MBR when non-bootable is selected
* Add VDS formatting support (through an Alt-V cheat mode)
* Add partition index support
* Improve(?) Windows To Go support by following Microsoft recommended partition order
* Code refactoring & cleanup
* Add display of persistence controls on relevant images
* Add progress on ext3 formatting and improve error reporting
* Also improve MountVolume() and fix some Coverity warnings
* Also fix an issue where Rufus doesn't report an error if 'fmifs.dll' can't be found (#1284)
* Also improve GitHub issue template to mention that Ctrl-L can also be used to access the log
* 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"
* This is accomplished through Fido (https://github.com/pbatard/Fido), a *SIGNED*
PowerShell script, that is downloaded from GitHub and that resides in memory for
the duration of a session.
* The reason we use a downloaded PS script, rather than an embedded on, is because:
- Microsoft have regularly been changing the deal with regards to how retail ISOs
can be downloaded, and not for the better, so we can't simply embed a static
means of downloading ISOs and expect that to work forever.
- By using an external script, we can immediately respond to whatever new means of
*ANNOYING* their legitimate users Microsoft will come up with next, as well as
make sure that, the minute a new retail version of Windows becomes available, it
also becomes available for download in Rufus.
* Note that if you are concerned about downloading a remote PS script that is being
run at the same level as an elevated application, you should understand that:
- Only scripts downloaded from GitHub, from an account that is protected with 2FA,
are allowed to run (i.e. someone would first have to steal a *physical* 2FA key
to be in a position to upload a malicious script).
- On top of this, only scripts that are signed with a separate private key (RSA +
AES-256), that is itself also protected with a strong unique password which only
a single person knows (and must manually enter each time they want to make a new
version of the script available for download), are allowed to run.
The above means that there's about as much chance for someone to manage to upload
a malicious script on the GitHub servers, that Rufus would allow to run, as there
is for someone to upload a malicious version of Rufus itself.
Still, if you are paranoid and have concerns that, even as you can validate from
its source that Rufus does not attempt to execute any remote script unless a user
actively selected and clicked the DOWNLOAD button, you can also completely disable
the remote script download feature, if you just set the update check to disabled
(which, by the way, Rufus *EXPLICITLY* asks you to choose whether you want to
enable or not, the very first time you run the application).
* Also remove _unlinkU() which duplicates what DeleteFileU() already does.
* With no thanks whatsoever to Microsoft for *NOT* documenting that you need
to pass flag 0x2000000 to WIMCreateFile() if you want to avoid an open error.
One has to wonder if Microsoft isn't deliberately adding *BULLSHIT FLAGS*
that only they know of, to hinder competing third-party tools...
* Also revert a472e96e87 as this is creating
unwanted detection issues as per #1239. We'll try to devise a better way
to avoid intempestive refreshes later on.
* Ctrl-Alt-Z can now be used to zero a drive, while skipping blocks that are detected empty
* Depending on your hardware, as well as the existing drive content, this strategy can greatly
speed up zeroing operations, especially if the flash memory's read speed is much higher than
its write speed.
* Closes#1174
* This doesn't mean we'll get persistence support any time soon, but any UI work
on this needs to be carried out *MONTHS* in advance because of the translators.
* Use a default block size of 128 KB (can speed up read operations)
* Reorganise patterns to suit different types of NAND cells (SLC, MLC and TLC)
* Only run fake drive test on first pass
* Also update rufus-next to 3.2
* Add a proper delay before retrying a write operation and increase retry count to 4
* Add retries when clearing boot records or when zeroing a drive
* Also improve log output from USB device reset
* We were switching the global boot type variable to something other than BT_IMAGE,
which prevented ISO extraction whenever a GRUB secondary boot record was written.
* Closes#1145
* This is a "stealth" update for the 3.0 release
* The issue was that we are picking the UTF16 file system name from
the dropdown, and where we use the "(Default)" suffixed version,
it now has an RLE at the beginning which we must skip.
* This prevented RTL languages from being able to format a drive as FAT32...
* Whole screen was being refreshed when calling InvalidateRect() in ResizeMoveCtrl()
* Progress bar bounding rectangle could be erased at 0.0%
* No progress was displayed when writing ISOHybrid images in DD mode
* Also fix an issue when write error would not display the error string
* File indexing is too much of an annoyance on removable drives anyway
and this should help with perf and access issues
* Alt-Q cheat mode is now changed to re-enable file indexing
* Also fix a rogue 'else' in the code
* Needed because native Windows produces obnoxious tearing on redrawing.
* Also rename global partition scheme variable back to 'pt'
* Also fix major and minor version numbers in the .rc
* If, for example, you have a truncated gz-compressed file and try to
write it to disk, bled_uncompress_with_handles() will return an error.
Previously, this was not reported back to the user.
* Closes#1040
* Required to support Debian Live 9.1 in ISO mode
* Note that this only works if the efi.img boot files do not require
additional content besides the one extracted from the ISO.
