/*++ Copyright (c) 1996-1999 Microsoft Corporation Module Name: Patchbc.h Abstract: Public header file for a module used to patch translated messages into arrays that constitute Windows NT file system and master boot code. Author: Ted Miller (tedm) 6 May 1997 Revision History: --*/ #if _MSC_VER > 1000 #pragma once #endif /* Various modules in the Windows NT need to lay the mbr or file system boot records, such as format, setup, etc. Boot code for fat, fat32, ntfs, and the mbr is each built into a corresponding header file in sdk\inc. Each header file has an array of bytes that constitute the boot code itself. The code has no text in it, but instead has some placeholders for text that need to be patched in at run-time by users of those header files. This allows localization of the boot messages without recompiles. As built, each boot code array has a WORD in a known place that indicates where in the array the messages are supposed to start. In addition the boot code expects to look in that same place to find the offset of any message it needs. Thus code in this module reads the value that was built into the array and replaces it with values of the latter type. For the file system boot code, the message offset table is located immediately before the 2-byte 55aa sig (for fat) or the 4-byte 000055aa sig (for fat32 and ntfs). Fat/Fat32 share 3 messages, whose offsets are expected to be in the following order in the offset table: NTLDR is missing Disk error Press any key to restart NTFS has 4 messages, whose offsets are expected to be in the following order in the offset table: A disk read error occurred NTLDR is missing NTLDR is compressed Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart For the master boot code, the message offset table is immediately before the NTFT signature and has 3 messages (thus it starts at offset 0x1b5). The offsets are expected to be in the following order: Invalid partition table Error loading operating system Missing operating system Finally note that to allow one-byte values to be stored in the message offset tables we store the offset - 256. The routines below return FALSE if the text is too long to fit in the available space. */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif BOOLEAN PatchMessagesIntoFatBootCode( IN OUT PUCHAR BootCode, IN BOOLEAN IsFat32, IN LPCSTR MsgNtldrMissing, IN LPCSTR MsgDiskError, IN LPCSTR MsgPressKey ); BOOLEAN PatchMessagesIntoNtfsBootCode( IN OUT PUCHAR BootCode, IN LPCSTR MsgNtldrMissing, IN LPCSTR MsgNtldrCompressed, IN LPCSTR MsgDiskError, IN LPCSTR MsgPressKey ); BOOLEAN PatchMessagesIntoMasterBootCode( IN OUT PUCHAR BootCode, IN LPCSTR MsgInvalidTable, IN LPCSTR MsgIoError, IN LPCSTR MsgMissingOs ); #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif
