Is the new geometry backward-compatible? If i recreate the partitions, will they be visible when i regress test revisions before 54511?

Hi,
due to connectivity issues with our servers in Sweden, I've taken our
rbuild debug buildslave & our KVM testbot offline.
This doesn't affect ISOs storage for the moment.

I see this and I LMFAO!
co_IntSendMessageNoWait(Window->head.h, WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING, 0,
(LPARAM) WinPos);
co_IntSendMessageNoWait(WinPos.hwnd, WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED, 0, (LPARAM) &WinPos);
There is more too! Amazing!
Please tell me this is not wrong!!!!

Hi People,
I'm back after my ordeal in Europe and finally got an inet line..
But now I've over 300 mails from the list to wade through.. Ugh.
It's gonna take some time to get up to speed.
Hi Eric,
That's all fine, it's just an educated choice of disk parameters as I see
it.
But anyway, all disk handling software (drivers etc) should honor whatever
disk parameters you write in the boot record when you format the partition,
and whatever geometry you write in the MBR when the disk gets partitioned,
whether it's this or that.
Just in case someone forgot ;)
Best Regards
Love

This looks broken to me. The old code was
"&LunExtension->MiniportLunExtension", which seems to make more sense.
Hi!
I plan to change the standard harddisk geometry from the old 32 sectors
and 64 heads geometry to the new 63 sectors and 255 heads geometry next
weekend. The old disk geometry was used up to Windows NT4 and the new
geometry is used since Windows 2000. So I guess it is time for ReactOS
to make this change too. ;-)
This should improve the compatiibility with other OSs because every
modern OS uses the new disk geometry.
Please note that you must delete and re-create all partitions on your
virtual harddisk in order to get a clean partition table when the new
disk geomerty is in use.
Regards,
Eric
