I.m.h.o, the ‘natural’ file system for a windows based OS is FAT32 (or ntfs when available) and this was my choice File system selection The new partition needs format, you can choose between FAT or BTRFS filesystem. I press ‘P’ and assigned all the available space. Good thing about working with virtual machines is that the installer sees a brand new disk, without the risk of losing data. This screen shows me the detected disks and partitions if any, and some instructions. I’ve changed the display to 1024×768 and didn’t bottered to change the keyboard layout because I can do it on second part of the installation some device settingsĪs with almost every OS, it’s partition disk time. If you just hit enter to continue then don’t blame me -or the reactos team- if your system do strange things! Seriously, pay attention to the warningĪfter the previous warning the installer shows a basic hardware summary. Please read very carefully, specially if you plan to run ReactOS on production environments. The next screen is a summary of the ReacOS status. press enter, unless you already installed and the os somehow broke On this second screen, as we are about to install ReactOS, just press enter. You can change later the language for the installed system. On this first part, the install program you’ll be presented with a text-mode wizard that copy the files to your hardrive to prepare the 2nd part.Īfter start your new VM with the bootCD, the very first step is to choose the installer language. Note that if you want to give it a try on real hardware you can choose the liveCD image and you wouldn’t need to install anything. ReactOS depends on Wine mainly for user mode DLLs. ReactOS works with the WINE project to share as much programming effort as possible. ReacOS goals are to look and feels like Windows, be able to your run Windows software and your Windows. ReactOS is a free and open source operating system based on Windows in the same way Linux is based on Unix. I highlight VM because ReactOS is still in alpha status, so do not format your hardrives to get ride of windows and install ReactOS… yet □. NT 6.x API Windows Vista support is important as many programs, including open source programs, have left Windows NT 5.x unsupported and non-functional for their programs.Here I will show you how to install ReactOS screen by screen in a virtual machine. Programs requiring Windows NT 6.0 (Vista) or newer will likely not run.Ĭurrent versions of Python do not work with ReactOS 0.4.x due to the Windows NT 5.2 API level.Ĭonsider trying an older version of the program you want to install that is still noted to work with Windows XP when using ReactOS. ReactOS 0.4.x API level is Windows NT 5.2 (Windows 2003 / XP).
