Please explain PR and fix compilation errors.

Will fix them next week..

No access to PC ATM...

The idea would be to add HDD status and format checking like FreeHdBoot MBR has.

And if one of those issues is detected, run FSCK instead

Nice, some tests forcing failures you described will be useful.

Still on the cellphone

TODO:

• fix compilation
• finish error checking code
• add FSCK to installer
• beta-testing

The purpose behind this PR? Make FreeHdBoot MBR not a vital piece of a sane HDD setup anymore

Also fueled by the idea of forking Softdev2 to make a MBR program of my own, for usage on PS2BBL when the HDD support comes (not soon)

[israpps]

As a side note

The following diagram poorly describes what FSCK does

flowchart LR
A[Initialize] --> B[Check MBR] --->|if has issues| C[let  the user now what happened and what was done] ---> QUIT["exit (MBR runs again)"]
B --> |if everything is ok| D[check HDD format issues] --->|if found issues| E[Attempt to fix] --->|either if fails or not| C

hi alex.

FHDB MBR program was disclosed some time ago.

This last commit reflects some of the checks and behaviours of FreeHdBoot MBR program source code
