How about the other way around for a little bit. Sorry, I couldn't do a commentary so I'll leave all the specifics down here. Again, sorry for the poor equipment used to record this video, I had literally nothing else but a 16 MP (with a bad focus!) phone camera to use.
This is using the ReactOS 0.4.8 CLT2018 build. I installed ReactOS on to the USB drive with the help of VirtualBox so my progress wouldn't get lost like it would on a live image. A lot of what you see, didn't work 'straight out of the box', I had to hunt down the drivers that are compatible with Windows XP. Fortunately people over at the ReactOS Community Discord helped me find them. Please bear in mind, that ReactOS is still in the alpha stage, which means it is not feature-complete and can corrupt your data due to major technical bugs. You may not have the same luck as I did in this video.

Showcasing some of the FreeLoader's boot management capabilities.
Note: FreeLoader does not load Windows fully properly at the moment, it is better to chain load and use NTLDR instead.
Artifacts at the end of video are caused by OBS.

Beat Warcraft III Reign of Chaos entirely in ReactOS, next up is The Frozen Throne. I used the Hippogryph method to fool the AI and halt production of undead troops, then blocked the way for Archimonde.
NOTE! Used portcls.sys from Server 2003. ReactOS own portcls at the point of recording this video was too immature!

FreeLoader boots Windows (and ReactOS) from Btrfs and ext2/3 volumes. The drivers used were the WinBtrfs (commit bce8a91) for ReactOS and Windows 2003, ext2fsd (version 0.69) for ReactOS and Windows 2003, and ext2ifs (version 1.12) for Windows NT 4.0.
