Pete Batard 352a796eff [core] only allow removable drives to be listed 
* 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

Rufus: The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

Features:
- Formats USB flash drives to FAT/FAT32/NTFS/exFAT
- Creates DOS bootable USB drives, with no external files required
- Creates bootable USB drives from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.)
- Twice as fast as Microsoft's USB/DVD tool or UNetbootin, on ISO->USB (1)
- Bad blocks check
- Modern UI, with UAC elevation for Windows Vista and later
- Very small footprint, no installation required
- 100% Free Source Software (GPL v3)

Compilation:
  Use either Visual Studio 2010, WDK (Windows Driver Kit) or MinGW and then
  invoke the .sln, wdk_build.cmd or configure/make respectively.
  You can change the project options (FreeDOS support, etc) by editing the top-level
  ms-config.h (Visual Studio, WDK) or running "./configure --help" (MinGW).
  
Additional information:
  Rufus provides extensive information about what it is doing through the Windows
  debug facility. This info can be accessed with an application such as DebugView.
