************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Greg,

Can you post the output of DualBootPRO -> Boot Information -> All? This will help us determine what the problem is.

Thanks,
Jason

Full post, machine XP Pro SP3. NB: Not happening now.
Some factors ? Has vista pro installed and previously actively used
before DualBootPro. So not clean install.
I think i have re-done the settings.

Will post if i can get it again. I am familiar with C# so whatever the collection was for the code stack, it must have found no entries and the code was expecting at least one...

Greg. When I get home I will have a look at the code and match it against your settings. Nothing jumps out at me with the exception of the unknown ramdisksdidevice under Device Options but that would not cause the problem. I have an idea of what it might be but I will definitely have to confirm that with the code.

Greg,

After looking at the code a little further it looks as if the combo box is not being fully populated with all the drive letters managed by Vista/7. It is possibly a drive that is not marked as Active in disk management which could cause the code not to return the drive letter. The next release of DBP will fix this error.
