Hi All,
I checked out the source again yesterday and built a fresh iso (bootcd). And again i find the same issue i.e "partition signature != 55AA" error while trying out the created iso with VMware.

Has anybody else tried the same way? My objective is to compile the reactos iso from source first. Then plan to add applications and try to fix some bugs in my free time. For that i feel its better  to use VMware instead of running fresh install (also i dont have spare machine to do fresh installation).

Is the current builds working in QEMU? 

Regards,
Mugunth

Hm, Hm... It's not so simply.
I got same error with _fresh-installed_ ReactOS.
