DELPHI 6 and LAZARUS Apps under 0.3.11 - Access MBR

Created an attachment (id=4695)
Screenshot from both Delphi and Lazarus Application

I wrote a small application with LAZARUS (and then also with Delphi 6 ..) which reads out the MBR of the harddisk and displays it as HEX and ASCII. Target was to see what ReactOS (usetup) does when installing from Installation CD.

I didn't test with ROS trunk versions because I was focused on usetup atm.
So please apologise if some issues are solved now.

The app uses (for example)

• CreateFile(), ReadFile() in accessmbrandfat.pas
• DeviceIoControl() with IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY in simplehddinfo.pas

Both applications (Delphi and Lazarus version) do work well under WinXP (even though they may contain bugs ...)

Under ReactOS:
1) IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY does not return DeviceName / DeviceID etc.

2) Both applications do misbehave under ReactOS, in many ways (size,
scaling, ... ). A little bit the Delphi compilation, much more
the LAZARUS compilation, especially MOUSE_UP message does not respond,
only if You click first on a button, then second on the
desktop background ...

I offered both EXE files and the source code under http://www.breakoutbox.de/software/software.html
