ReactoOS .iso instalation Tested on Gateway Solo 2500 Notebook with HDD 
partitioned into primary and Extended with 1 Logical disk drive and 
preinstalled Windows 98 SE: 
   After instaltation (BootLoader into MBR) FreeLoader refuses to boot to 
DOS/Windows saying that bootsect file is in bad path or not found. The file 
BOOTSECT.DOS is created. It refuses to load even using custom boot hd0/0/
\BOOTSECT.DOS.
   Tried to copy file to floppy - impossible too.

   Workaround (possible) -- install loader into floppy, as elseway You can get 
inopearational system.

   Seriously, expect it being fixed in 0.2.9 :-) Good Luck!
