[ros-dev] HDD Geometry switch

[caemyr at myopera.com]

Also, knowing the consequences, did you bother to issue any message to our community, to inform them about this?? Not every ReactOS user is subsribed to ros-dev.

Ah wait... you ignored that as well. You will let others handle the problem as usual.

I have 5 sets for testing, 2 real hardware and 3 vm. Each one with two partitions, one for ros and other for all the installers and drivers.

So now, whenever i cross the border of this change, i will have to wipe all, recreate the partitions and copy the stuff back? It will take no less than half an hour for VM. On real hardware, just the copying can take up to 1 hour.

Do you value your time available to spend on ReactOS? Then perhaps you could also think about others as well?
