ReactOS installs, doesn't boot
by Wesley Parish 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

installs the .iso edition, doesn't do anything to the boot sector. Ie, I see no bootsec.dos. What do I do? any suggestions?

I'm back :)
by Andrew Greenwood 30 Aug '04

Who would've thought living without broadband for a week would: - Feel like you've lost a limb - Result in 700+ emails from mailing lists being downloaded upon my return! Although I haven't contributed much to the project, I just thought I'd say I'm back... Been busy moving into a flat, and messing with wireless networking. Shame I don't really get time to do coding at the moment :(

If you are interested in an alternative forum for driver development, you may want to check out http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=ListServer Considering it's free and it is a fairly active mailing list (probably the leading one for that matter) on NT driver development, and frequented by Microsoft as well as other leading brand companies, it may be able to help you.

About Documentation
by Wesley Parish 27 Aug '04

27 Aug '04

Hi I was wondering about doing some documentation, since I've got a lot of spare time on my hands. (And a bit of experience writing stuff - one unpublished novel, one 2nd draft novella, several short stories, and some short short stories - so I figure I know that side well enough to transfer my skills over to the technical side without a brain transplant or a second degree.) What sort of documentation is most needed at this stage? Wesley Parish P.S. I've got one of those Dell OptiPlex G1 333L thingees to play around with ReactOS, and it's not recognizing the 3249.3 MB HDD I've got for it. Anyone know where I can get an A04 upgrade that'll recognize it? Or some such BIOS? "Sharpened hands are happy hands.

Installing ReactOS with other OSes
by Rakhesh Sasidharan 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

Hi all! Am thinking of trying out ReactOS on my home machine, but thought I'd clarify a few things before going ahead. My current setup is this: I have a primary master disk, on which I have Windows 98 (primary partition), FreeBSD (primary partition), Windows XP and Linux (logical partitions). I use GRUB as my bootloader. I have a secondary master disk, on which I plan to install FreeDOS (primary partition), and ReactOS (primary partition). I checked up with the FreeDOS folks and it seems installing FreeDOS into my existing setup is a no problem -- FreeDOS would need its equivalent of config.sys and autoexec.bat to be present on my C: (which is the Windows 98 partition), and other than that there should be no hassles (FreeDOS will install its bootsector on its partition only, and I can get GRUB to load it from there). >From the installation pages of ReactOS, I figure that if I were to install ReactOS into my current setup, it would add itself to the Windows XP boot manager. Coz my Windows 98 partition is currently active, and that's where the XP boot manager is installed, and that's where the ntldr and boot.ini files are located. Righto? But suppose I don't want to boot ReactOS through the XP boot manager, can I do the following: make the ReactOS partition as active beforehand, and so when ReactOS installs itself it will find that the active partition has no boot manager or files etc and so will install the bootsectors to this partition ... and then I can use GRUB to load these bootsectors to boot into ReactOS? Is this possible? ReactOS wont overwrite my MBR (GRUB) or XP boot manager etc in this case right? Thanks, Rakhesh
