becauuuse it has way more faith than say a certain open source binary compatible windows xp system

I need a few 10s of k

Pls donate to me cries

I wish i bought bitcoin when it was 2 cents each

You should test only provided image. And do not try to liveUSB boot with it. It should be tested via CD/DVD

Or VBox USB forwarding

i tried this and it gave me bsod

i tried this and it gave me bsod

We need debug log and more information

We need debug log and more information

idk how to do that

Bsod does not help

There is wiki article about it

ok i'll check

You will need a physical serial cable if you want to receive debug messages from a real computer through the serial port.

damn

I dont have that

I dont have that

You can get debug on screen

It doesn't say with a USB stick though

You can write the image onto a hard drive and install from it

No.

I meant a real hard drive

IDE or ATA

I agree, that sentence is somewhat misleading.

I'm not sure about ATA

I meant a real hard drive

installed in pc hdd not like usb external hdd

yeah

I agree, that sentence is somewhat misleading.

yeah i thought theyre talking bout usb drive too, misleading

Support for AHCI

installed in pc hdd not like usb external hdd

e-SATA HDD might work

...although it's a wild guess.

i use laptops so i'll wait for the usb support

i use laptops so i'll wait for the usb support

I had a laptop with eSATA

with this:

nicee

It's basically a SATA port with hotplugging support.

That's eSATAp.

That's eSATAp.

Yes.

So why don't you go find it in that group?

Regular eSATA doesn't have the USB port (or its 5V rail)

Regular eSATA doesn't have the USB port (or its 5V rail)

Their SATA parts are the same.

Their SATA parts are the same.

Yeah, that's true, but there's cables that wil llet you use the USB 5v for SATA power.

whereas regular eSATA always requires external power

Yeah, that's true, but there's cables that wil llet you use the USB 5v for SATA power.

hmm it seems they're also incompatible with the regular eSATA

shouldn't be

Still, ReactOS might install off such drive.

I don't know if it works :P

or rather, the eSATAp port works for eSATA stuff

although the other way around

I don't know if it works :P

Nothing fancy to it, it's just another SATA (internal) HDD as far as any OS is concerned.

or even as far as the BIOS is concerned.

It's better to test. I wish I could, but I've sold that laptop some time ago.

Test?

What testing?

What would you specifically be testing for?

Installing from external eSATA HDD

... does internal SATA work?

... does internal SATA work?

some controllers are supported

Because the thing you need to keep in mind, there's no protocol differences, there's no interface differences, etc. eSATA drives are indistingusihable from internal SATA

therefore the SATA driver will support both, or neither

true

But if it works it will be more convenient than a CD

if the internal HDD can be used, then eSATA will work

it's not special or separate

I get it

So why don't you go find it in that group?

i wonder why he doesnt try himself

i'm not aware of reactos hiring slaves

Links will do, lol

I'm not sure about ATA

ReactOS supports SATA and AHCI

e-SATA HDD might work

But do not try to HotPlug

some controllers are supported

Actually lots of them, and more are coming with recent patch of UniATA

if the internal HDD can be used, then eSATA will work

Nice idea

if the internal HDD can be used, then eSATA will work

Actually sometimes there is a separate controller for eSATA, mainly on older machines and on eSATA external drives themselves.

but this eSATA deal is quite exotic for me, I've never used it :P
