It's a shame that whoever forked it, not only continued with the same name, I don't even know if this is legal, but also just increased the version number, which implies it would be mine. It isn't. As you see on the download page, the most recent one is AiR-Boot v1.06. Regardless, if it now works, then it's possible that it really was a partition that wasn't marked as active, idk. In any case, 1.07 is not mine, so I can't help you, because I don't know what got...M.

If it wasn't 1.06, but "higher", then that's possibly a fork, and definitely not the actual AiR-Boot that is available here. I'm not sure what eCS did when you removed it from your system. Can you still find partitions on the harddrive? If so, maybe the one with Windows 10 on it just isn't marked as active. RegardsM.

AiR-BOOT uses BIOS INT 13h calls for everything, it does not have any support for USB drives. The BIOS has to do that. There is for example DFSee, which is also available for DOS. That's a tool that makes it possible to read sectors and do much more. https://www.dfsee.com/ Please do this before doing anything else, because that will hopefully tell us what happened internally / what went wrong.M.

As the geometry of the Extended Partition is wrong, I assume the Extended partition table won't actually be readable or of any use. Booting DOS isn't a problem, but having access to the USB-drive within DOS isn't straight forward. Already tried that with UBCD. And I don't think I have a DOS-tool to dump partition tables.

That's the flag that shows which partition to boot from (for BIOS). So there has to be buggy BIOS code that is causing this / USB converter device not properly working. The error message itself makes no sense in that case, because according to that data there are only 2 partitions on that USB drive, so the data returned to AiR-BOOT by BIOS has to be faulty. Can you dump...M.

How many partitions are shown inside setup at that point? What's this other harddrive? Also SATA? How did you connect it via USB? What's the size of that drive? I have to assume right now that the BIOS access to that drive doesn't work properly. How many partitions are on it? Any way for you to dump the partition tables? Kind RegardsM.
