 Read Disk does a modification of ExtMbrStartingLba with the code MultU64x32
 (ExtMbrStartingLba, BlockSize) Error detection to see if ExtMbrStartingLBA
 has a value of 0. This is invalid as LBA 0 = MBR. After modification, the
 next time ExtMbrStartingLba is in this function if ExtMbrStartingLba is set
 to 0 in the MBR it never passes the while/do evaluation It is multiplied by 0
 by read disk , set to 0 by an invalid MBR and goes back to evaluation This
 condition will also cause Ws19 and WS22 to hang, however Microsoft has
 developed a hotfix patch that will be released in 2022
