USB Support Broken

Post by irwazr »

Hi everyone,

I read somewhere that USB support was broken a while back, is this true? Just wondering whether there's an ETA on when it'll be fixed?

How this came up for me, is that I'm working on installing ReactOS on an old Acer Aspire One ZG5. It has no optical drive, just USB and SD slots. I managed to get the OS image onto the disk (install on a VM then use CloneZilla) however to then copy on the drivers is a problem. I discovered the only way to do so is to have the drives on the local disk being imaged. So yes, it would be very handy to just plug in a USB stick :D

Thanks,

There is a completely new USB stack. The old one never worked that well.

Try this one
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.
