           Summary: ReactOS setup generates corrupted FAT filesystem.
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: TRUNK
          Platform: x86 Hardware
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Setup
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs at reactos.org
        ReportedBy: carlo.bramix at libero.it

I created two virtual machines: one is used for installing ReactOS and one is
used with a working Windows 98 installation.
Next I have added the ReactOS disk to Windows 98 virtual machine because I was
planning to use it as shared resource on the intranet for easy copying files on
it from host PC.
When booting Windows 98, scandisk always pops up showing that the last cluster
of the disk cannot be accessed because damaged or unlinked.
Let's see these scenario:

1) ReactOS disk is partitioned with FDISK and formatted with FORMAT. ReactOS is
installed without changing existing filesystem. No error is reported when
booting Windows 98 with ReactOS disk added.

2) ReactOS disk is partitioned with FDISK. ReactOS setup formats the partition
and it installs the files. Windows 98 reports the error.

3) ReactOS setup makes the partition and it formats it, then it copies the
files. Windows 98 reports the error.

Tested with QEMU 0.9.1, Windows 98 SE and ReactOS bootcd-51748-dbg.
