Hello Marius,
DriveSetup "writes" information to disks, but there is no 100% guarantee that
it is "savely" written. Because of that, there always is a chance for you to
"lose your data". Even though, if that happens, there theoretically is a chance
for you to recover it, as there still is, it has not been "zeroed". As a man
who grown up with the BeOS and a guy who has suffered partition losing once or
twice in a lifetime, that distinction is kind of important. Remember,
developers are the first ones in testing the programs, and Haiku resembles the
BeOS, where DriveSetup says "write" and "losing data"; in English, but it says
so.
How fast the Norwegian translation is going! Good work!
Miguel
