Hello,

I've just installed ReactOS on a VirtualBox that had Windows XP on it before.
The partitions were formatted NTFS and the installer attempted to format this
FAT.

The format program should have either refused to run or changed the partition
type to FAT before attempting to format it.

Consequently, the partition cannot be installed on and becomes non bootable in
its current state. 

Granted, its just as easy to reboot, remove the partition and re-add it so the
installer can format it but it would be nice to have this done automatically.

John
