Certainly it isn't. But actually ROS doesn't really check drives,
autochk.exe is just a stub for now. So the problem is further - when loading
drivers probably.

ReactOS doesn't use DMA to access HardDisk now at all (correct me if I'm
wrong - I'm not so into harddisk drivers stuff).

You know, you should definately enable debug output (edit your freeldr.ini ,
in [ReactOS] section, in Options=/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /BAUDRATE=115200).
And you can watch debug messages both on the screen and on the COM port.
Then you can tell us more precisely what your problem is, and we can find a
fix for this.


With the best regards,
