Hi,
Just by copying files with folders wouldn't make it normal ReactOS
installation,
you also need create boot sector(s) OK by filling it, the problem is we do
not have proper tools for it. I.e. tool just like sys.exe/sys.com utility
was in DOS/Windows 9x or fixmbr.exe utility is for Windows 2000+ or
"bootrec /fixmbr" for WinVista+.
More on this could be read here:

More on ReactOS startup steps described can be found by links here:

Thanks for the insight... I'll search it.
As far as I have concluded from looking into the result of the "make
bootcd" command, a simple python script can replace the "make install"
command, by extracting the files in the .CAB into the correct folder (they
are discrimined in another in-CD text file which name I don't remember).
That can be an alternative.
