[ros-dev] HDD Geometry switch

[Ged Murphy]

Do you have to work at being this rude and disrespectful or does it just
come naturally to you?
This is the a great example of why the reactos forums are such a nasty place
to visit.
You must be quite proud.

Also, knowing the consequences, did you bother to issue any message to our
community, to inform them about this?? Not every ReactOS user is subsribed
to ros-dev.

Ah wait... you ignored that as well. You will let others handle the problem
as usual.

I have 5 sets for testing, 2 real hardware and 3 vm. Each one with two
partitions, one for ros and other for all the installers and drivers.

So now, whenever i cross the border of this change, i will have to wipe all,
recreate the partitions and copy the stuff back? It will take no less than
half an hour for VM. On real hardware, just the copying can take up to 1
hour.

Do you value your time available to spend on ReactOS? Then perhaps you could
also think about others as well?
