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

Yep, i knew that they were some problems with ReactOS partitioning
code, although i haven't had problems with it (i always install
ReactOS over a previously partitioned disk :P). Maybe its fixed by now
(latest SVN).

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

Hi,
to be 100% safe you should partition the drive using other tool than  
reactos' setup (that should be done once).

As for formatting from ReactOS setup - it works without problems  
(this should be done).


WBR,
Aleksey.

Hi Mugunth,

It would be nice if you would tell us the revision you built, when you 
want to get help on a ROS problem.
If nobody knows which revision you used, it's quite hard to find the bug.

Greets,

David Hinz

Instaling on a vmware scsi disk was broken for a while (afaik) it's now fixed.

I have seen that when creating a new vmware disk reactos setup fails
to properly format the disk and then aborts and attempts to restart,
when you restart vmware now tryies to boot to hard disk. When vmware
reads the disk it bails with "partition signature != 55AA" . To fix te
issue you have to go to the vmware bios setup and change the boot disk
back to cd-rom and re-run reactos setup.  Now you can format the disk
and setup  will (if you're lucky) now install.

Thanks a lot Samuel and all who have responded,
Will try that option.  Meanwhile I tried using QEMU and was able to boot
reactos using QEMU.

Next I will be trying to build in ubuntu and also going thro the documents
in the reactos - hope to start contributing patches soon.
