This will allow compatibility with modern OSes and
modern disk management utilities.
It will also improve performances by properly aligning
partition start.
And it will let enough room at the begin of the disk
for 3rd party bootloaders.
WARNING: this is not compatible with previous partition
model, and old one will likely not be compatible. You'll
have to erase your whole partition table and start from
scratch.
- SETUPLIB and USETUP: Convert PARTENTRY::DriveLetter to WCHAR.
- SETUPLIB: Retrieve volume label.
- SETUPLIB and USETUP: Move the partition types (IDs) table from
USETUP to SETUPLIB so that they can share it with the 1st-stage
GUI installer too. Also take the opportunity to update the table
with information from http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html
and cross-checked with the list from Paragon Hard-Disk Manager.
- USETUP: Simplify PrintPartitionData().
- Add some code comments.
- Use OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE when initializing object attributes
(no actual reason why to keep case sensitivity there).
- Check the success of a RtlStringCchPrintfW call in EnumerateReactOSEntries().
- Explicitly check for returned STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from ChkdskPartition()
or FormatPartition(), and display an appropriate error message.
- Remove some left-over comments but also explain why I kept some
commented code (mainly for future reference).
