Saltgrass, I want to say thanks for sticking around and providing the debug files, you're the first to do so and it's really helping!
Can you please replace BootGrabber.exe with the one attached to this post and try to reproduce the crash once more?
I may have fixed it, but if not, please attach the crash dump as you did last time.
Good luck & much appreciated!
I will do as you ask. Several times today, on this computer, I had the same problem. Setting Bootgrabber.exe to run as admin seemed to work the first time.
On a newer computer, Core 2 Duo on Intel motherboard with the same setup, EasyBCD ran fine the first time with no errors. I will post back tomorrow.
And Terry60, the System Reserved partition in Win 7 is causing all types of problems with XP installs. On two separate computers, when installing XP with the Win 7 drive being primary, a 1 mb unallocated partition was placed in front of the 100 mb Win System Reserved Partition. That thing (100mb partition) is really messing with XP dual boots. The fact you cannot install XP on a system that has the 100 mb partition without first making the future XP partition active, means something. Even when installing on a second hard drive, the Win 7 drive with the 100 mb partiton cannot be primary if you expect to be able to install.
And, just for your information Terry60, this is a beta, and as such is not expected to work in all cases. More information, which I am hopefully providing, will make it better, or at least help Computer Guru recognize what might be happening if these situations arise in the future.
