Hi, congratulations! It's a pity that MS hardcodes the C:\ at more and more places... Original Windows NT 4.0 can boot completely even if the drive-letter changes, WinNT + IE throws an error message but works, on Windows 2000 one is automatically logged out again if it changes, on Windows XP even the login-Screen doesn't appear... Best regards, Michael Fritscher

Partition size and FAT32 cluster size?
by Thomas Mueller 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

What is the biggest partition size compatible with 4096-byte (4 KB) cluster size, cluster size being the minimum amount of space taken by a file however small? I googled some years ago and found it to be about 8 GB, however now I wonder if that was wrong, and I can accommodate a bigger partition. >From what I read years back, minimum cluster size would go to 8 KB when partition size goes above 8 GB, 16 GB when partition size goes above 16 GB, 32 KB when partition size goes above 32 GB, meaning a lot of disk space wasted by small files. I believe the best file system ReactOS can use so far is FAT32, true also for FreeDOS. My first formatting might be done from FreeBSD, NetBSD or Linux, since I don't have ReactOS or MS-Windows installation currently. Tom

It should determine the current layout from the OS and display that. (Point in case: some people *cough cough* use custom keyboard layouts)

great chance

Hey guys, I previously talked to daniel and colin about this thing and colin told me to write a mail to this list. I read about a big chance for the preject to show a presentation at the CeBIT, the biggest german IT convention. Sadly, I only have links to german websites but maybe you are satisfied with google translation. Here they are: http://www.golem.de/news/call-for-papers-open-source-forum-sucht-experten-f… http://www.linux-magazin.de/NEWS/Call-for-Papers-Open-Source-Forum-auf-der-… This would be a big chance for the project as there are people from all over the world and a bigger audience than the one of all Linux days together could learn about the project. Best Regards Robert
