[ros-dev] Announcement: New harddisk geometry next weekend

[Eric Kohl]

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
