Safe Mode. Just load Video, File and network drivers and allow direct access to int13 
so fdisk and format can run so user can diag/fix it. 

Curious if ReactOS has a an Emergency Boot Disk 
system that it can make ?  Perhaps, keep a Freedos 1.44m 
disk image and allow suer to rawrite it when needed. Or even a  
dual bootable Freedos partition (FAT16) with the appropriate recovery tools on it.
