The next question is how to update the files manually to the latest build?
I'm using XP, so could I just move files over from the iso...opening the cab file and just copy files over to where they belong under d:\reactos?
Updating ReactOS manually

can't use install
should have posted this under my original thread.
the reason I need to do this manually is because I get an installation error when using the install cd. I can run a livecd, qemu fine. is it because I have a sata drive?
I'm using XP, so I took the 0.2.8 qemu image and copied it to the fat32 partition and used grub to boot it up. I would like to see the latest work now that I'm hooked.
since I can't use the install cd, what's the next best thing for installing the latest files?

allocConsole() failed
during install I get:GvG wrote:So you can boot via Grub into FreeLdr and then into ReactOS, but you can't boot from the install CD? That's weird...
AllocConsole() failed (Status=0xc0000001)
so instead I did it manually. so how do update manually?!
usb keyboard
i have a usb keyboard that has a ps/2 port adapter. My box has ports for the keyboard and mouse so I'm using them instead of usb. I did the same with the mouse (using the adapter).GvG wrote:Are you using a USB keyboard? USB keyboard is not supported yet and will result in the AllocConsole error message during install.
Regardless, the keyboard and the mouse work with 0.2.8 after my manual install so all I want to do is upgrade to the latest release manually.

Re: can't use install
No, a new thread is apropriate, dual boot and manual installation is two completely different questions, else it will be hard to find later on.auron wrote:should have posted this under my original thread.
