## Source excerpt

Hello World! I know it hasn't been very long since the last update. The last few updates were late, but I'm trying to get back into good habits like committing often and blogging on time. :) Last time, I talked about how ReactOS was corrupting my test volume by trying to create files I wasn't ready for it to create. I was indeed able to fix that by booting into Windows and creating the folder and files ReactOS kept trying to make.
