Hello,

After some user complaints about not being able to fatls micro sd cards which were formatted by Windows XP, I felt compelled to make the following change (to u-boot 1.1.6, which I know is ancient, but looking at the git tree, the latest doesn't handle it either near as I can tell.
Just curious if anyone has any thoughts.
In the latest code, it seems like checking the partition table first is dangerous as a VBR might looks like it has a partition table (but it would be bogus)
Some documents suggest checking the first 3 bytes of the block for the branch instructions. The idea being that an MBR with a valid partition table won't have the branch. voodoo, I know...
Strangely enough, this message seems to have received no feedback at all.
So what do we do about this?
Best regards,
