[00:00]<agzggal>Bizzeh, you should see me repairing fat tables by hand in norton disk editor meh... scandisk couldnt fix it, i could and i was like.. 15? and i didnt know what i was doing at all :P
[00:01]<bynnnx>JernejL: luckily for me, i noticed the disk acting funny
[00:01]<bynnnx>so i quickly grabbed everything off it
[00:01]<agzggal>what was the issuse?
[00:01]<mzfznm>Harteex: ping
[00:01]<bynnnx>grub
[00:01]<hzzvnnw>pong
[00:01]<bynnnx>it felt the need to start messing around in stuff it wasnt supposed to mess around in
[00:01]<mzfznm>have you seen the topic ?
[00:01]<agzggal>grub ate your partitions?

[00:02]<hzzvnnw>sure
[00:03]<agzggal>about these lilo / grub loaders, i find it very appealing that ROS uses its own unique loader
[00:03]<bynnnx>it needs it
[00:04]<bynnnx>grub/lilo cant create all the crap that ntldr creates before boot, that windows needs
[00:04]<bynnnx>thats why they chainload ntldr
[00:04]<agzggal>freeloader can load win98, but can it load NT?
[00:06]<fyzn2rff>haha
[00:06]<fyzn2rff>of course it can't load NT
[00:06]<fyzn2rff>it's different from NT loader A LOT

[00:12]<mzfznm>only chainload afaik
[00:12]<xljussyg>http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1721 : sometimes, i want to say: "... so, skip the driver installation or use the wizard!"
[00:12]<vra>hmm, the "danish" translation of reactos.org is actually norwegian, should i file a bug or something?
[00:12]<bynnnx>ohh

[00:13]<gznzvljzm>Bizzeh : freeldr support mulit boot
[00:13]<mzfznm>Bizzeh: I think freeldr can just chainload grub
[00:13]<agzggal>isnt it winlogon that makes screenshoots??
[00:13]<agzggal>like print screen handling
[00:13]<gznzvljzm>DrFred : u are wrong

[00:15]<gznzvljzm>2. windows freeldr chainloding windows
[00:16]<gznzvljzm>Usurp : freeldr need a filesystem drv to continue boot ros to ext2
[00:17]<bynnnx>wouldnt it need to be able to read the file system to get the driver?
[00:17]<usuzl>thats linux actually
[00:17]<gznzvljzm>try out freeldr
[00:18]<gznzvljzm>freeldr already known ext2 partions
[00:19]<fyzn2rff>night
[00:19]<usuzl>fedora core that suspends to disk cant be started by freeldr : "FreeLoader does not understand features of this EXT2/EXT3 filesystem"
[00:21]<usuzl>because the volume has to stay mounted
[00:27]<afgw_ijggsau>not only did ffox download 100 times faster in my qemu
