This is an odd setup Airboot is installed on drive one and boot manager on drive 2 the dumpfs partition is on drive 2 not listed in boot manager. Airboot lists it as "Bigfat"

Airboot version:

I often get the message "AirBoot? is intact" following by "Configuration is not intact" while booting from ecs2.2 to win8 and vice versa. Then the message "Press Tab to return to AirBoot?". Pressing TAB is followed with the message "SaveError?". Then I have to reboot from installation CD to fix it. I now have installed WIN 8 and ecS 2.2 on the first disk (SSD) and nothing else, but I also had the problem when I run Vista and ecs2.1 and ecs2.2. The whole thing is annoying. I have to be very careful when rebooting and always be sure to close all programs before shutting down, then it seems to help (but not always).

I have a 16 GB USB stick, formatted by win 10, as FAT32 (no LVM information, naturally, and DFSEE says it is Large Floppy). If it is attached at boot time (an Asus M3A78-EM motherboard, which does have some issues with USB), the BIOS "sees" it. It is not bootable, so BIOS properly ignores it. Then, the screen turns black, flashes something, for about 1/4 second, and nothing else happens. This would seem to be Air Boot, which should also ignore it. I will note, that the old Air Boot (1.1.0), on my L530, causes a message that there is a HDD with a bad partition table, and it refuses to go further until I remove the stick (at least there is a clue that something is wrong). I can reboot, with CAD, so it isn't hung. DSFEE finds nothing wrong with it, and win 10 is perfectly happy with it. Even Lars' USB driver (USB215) is perfectly happy to use it, when I plug it in after booting. AN USB 11.14 says it isn't usable (FAT32, > 2 GB, without a partition, and LVM information).
