Hi, I attached a totally blank hard disk image to ReactOS, and I'd like to partition & format it. As I see, diskmgmt.msc is not available under ReactOS, and diskpart seems to be a stub, so I have no way to partition it under ReactOS, without installing 3rd party software, right? Probably I'm missing something. MegaBrutal

Can't format blank floppy

by MegaBrutal

Hi, I installed ReactOS on a KVM virtual machine from image bootcd-68169-rel.iso. I attached a blank floppy disk to the VM and tried to format it: format A: I got an error message: „ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_VOLUME - The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.” Of course it does not have a recognized file system, as it does not have any file system yet. It's a totally blank floppy image, and I want to create a file system on it just now. I don't know why I get this error. Most likely this is a bug. I just thought to tell you about it. MegaBrutal

The Commission shall continue to adopt formally, through the Product Management procedure, the use of OSS technologies and products. 2. The Commission shall ensure a level playing field for open source software and demonstrate an active and fair consideration of using open source software – taking account of the total cost of ownership of the solution. 3. For all future IT developments, the Commission shall promote the use of products that support recognised, well-documented and preferably open technical specifications that can be freely adopted, implemented and extended. Interoperability is a critical issue for the Commission, and use of well-established standards is a key factor to achieve it. 4. For the internal development of new information systems, in particular where deployment is foreseen by third parties outside the EC infrastructure, OSS shall be the preferred choice and used whenever possible. 5. The Commission shall further clarify the legal context around the internal use of OSS and make this clarification available to interested parties. The main topics to be addressed include: licensing schemes, Intellectual Property Rights, equal opportunities in the context of procurement and participation in OSS communities. 6. The Commission shall further develop guidelines and best practices allowing the setup of OSS and mixed solutions covering the full set of professional services, including deployment of OSS solutions in its data centres at the same level of service as the proprietary ones. 7. The Commission shall continue to develop and adopt best practice and tools emerging from OSS communities while applying state-of-the-art governance practices, particularly in the domain of security. In addition, the EC will facilitate and promote the creation of communities for those OSS products released by the Commission and facilitate participation in external OSS communities. 8. OSS plays an important role in e-Government projects and shall be therefore considered within the framework of these activities. 9. The collaboration between Commission teams in charge of the internal and external OSS strategies shall be further enhanced in order to achieve convergence, in particular through alignment with and reuse of validated solutions produced by the ISA programme. 10. The ICT ecosystem is extremely dynamic, innovative, and constantly evolving; as such it impacts many areas of the Commission's policies. Within this context, DIGIT shall continue to play an active role in promoting partnerships focusing on OSS between the European Institutions and other stakeholders.

Questions

by Cact25＠aol.com

How do I submit a question? I would like to see what the OS GUI looks like and how closely it follows the XP GUI. I think a good feature would be the ability to import the XP registry so all of the programs would not have to be reinstalled. Thanks. Jim Kirwan

[ros-announce] ReactOS 0.3.17 Released

by Aleksey Bragin

The ReactOS Project is pleased to release version 0.3.17. A major new feature for this release is the inclusion of NTVDM, which provides support for a wide range of 16bit applications, a long requested feature by the community. NTVDM is still undergoing work but we felt that it was ready enough to provide a sneak peak to the wider community. In addition, the leadup to the 0.3.17 release saw a very impressive round of testing by the community. Several regressions and bugs discovered in the release candidates were promptly fixed and incorporated into the final release. ReactOS is quickly approaching a stage where what the releases will offer is polish compared to previous releases. That will be an important milestone, as it is then that we can begin recommending to people that they try using ReactOS for day-to-day computing. We hope you look forward to it as much as we do. The detailed 0.3.17 changelog is also available: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/ChangeLog-0.3.17 Main news link: http://reactos.org/node/911 Download link: https://www.reactos.org/download _______________________________________________ Ros-announce mailing list Ros-announce(a)reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-announce
