[ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [mnordell] 29702: Don't try to open a harddisk for reading when checking for it to create the PhysicalDriveN links. Instead, request FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES. This silences a hack-warning in IopParseDevice, that now possibly can be removed.

[Alex Ionescu]

Windows uses the FILE_READ_DATA flag here, not FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES.  
Silencing a warning does not mean fixing it -- all this is doing is  
hiding the bug (which is somewhere in vfat) in a place that's quite  
exposed. Because it's now gone, it'll probably happen in some  
mysterious application 2 years from now and nobody will know why.
