CORE-16274
SETUPLIB:
=========
- Find the system partition initially when we create the list of
partitions.
- Split the old CheckActiveSystemPartition() helper in two helpers:
FindSupportedSystemPartition() and SetActivePartition(). This allows
simplifying slightly the former one, and allows the user, in an
interactive situation, to decide whether the "supported system
partition" found can actually be used or not.
- Remove the "OriginalSystemPartition" hack in the PARTLIST structure.
- Add a note regarding the SystemPartition member in PARTLIST.
USETUP:
=======
- Use the introduced helpers from above. If the "system" partition we
are going to use, in case we install ReactOS on a fixed disk, is *NOT*
the same as the original one (e.g. because it is detected to be not
supported by ReactOS...), display an informative screen to the user
and let him confirm whether or not he wants to change the partition.
If we install on a fixed disk, try to find a supported system partition
on the system. Otherwise if we install on a removable disk, use the
install partition as the system partition instead.
This allows providing a fix for CORE-16274.
SETUPLIB:
=========
- Remove useless HiddenSectors member in PARTENTRY structure.
- InsertDiskRegion() helper returns a BOOLEAN success.
- CreateInsertBlankRegion() helper sets LogicalPartition.
- Simplify the InitializePartitionEntry() helper so that its PartEntry
parameter is clearly the one that is being initialized (i.e. converted
from a blank region to) an actual partition, and use the helper
CreateInsertBlankRegion(). The calculations for the StartSector and
SectorCount are exactly equivalent with the old version of this
function. Also make it return a BOOLEAN success instead.
+ Add some extra validation checks.
+ Adjust CreatePrimaryPartition(), CreateExtendedPartition() and
CreateLogicalPartition() in this regard.
- Better handling of "RAW"-mounted partitions: treat them as
"Unformatted" only if they are RAW *AND* their PartitionType is one of
those associated with FAT file-system. Otherwise we cannot decide
whether they are indeed unformatted or have an unknown file-system on
them, therefore treat them as the latter.
In this regard, the IsSupportedActivePartition() helper should not
look for FileSystem == RAW but instead only look whether the partition
is Unformatted.
This should help with situations similar to the one described in CORE-16274
where a partition with a genuine file-system but not recognized by
ReactOS (because we currently do not have the EXT2/3/4 filesystem
driver loaded during 1st-stage setup due to commit 5a650f6b) and
therefore mounted as RAW, was thought to be unformatted.
USETUP:
=======
- Use the "global" SystemPartition pointer: this is the "system"
partition we will actually use. It can be different from the actual
one of the computer, for example when we install ReactOS on a
removable disk. This allows also to simplify the code.
- Remove the single-used DestinationDriveLetter variable.
- Remove BuildInstallPaths() helper and use InitDestinationPaths()
directly instead.
- Always mention the disk where the partition being formatted is.
- Cleanup old code comments, add assertions here & there...
This fixes regression CORE-16289 where we could not longer
move the taskbar at a different than default location,
as WindowSnap would interfere.
Many Thanks to the patches author Doug Lyons.
Eventually the heuristic that we use here to identify the
taskbar via used window-styles could be improved later.
Theoretically possible that it bails out on some other windows.
The regression was introduced by 0.4.12-dev-373-g
