Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [cgutman] 48700: [USETUP] - Remove code that was corrupting disk data and causing setup to fail in rare cases - Write the MBR in all cases (Windows setup behavior too) - We can overwrite GRUB and L...

"Windows setup behavior too"

Please correct me if im wrong.... but Windows doesnt take care about
existent MBR, if it has "non-recognized" partitions (aka, non-FAT/NTFS
formatted partitions)

IMO ReactOS should take care of this, detecting Ext2/3/4, reiserFS, and
so.... and not just copy Windows behavior.....
