[Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo]

"you must delete and re-create all partitions on your virtual harddisk"

You can do that within 1st stage setup, right?

> 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.
