Hi,

You're right: I enabled is the bootsector protection of HDDriver 
(v7.83).
F is an ext2 partition. What is this type of filesystem messing with 
the boot sector?

Stability: I.e. I just quit jinnee to get back to bash => FREEZE.
After reboot:
	restarted XaAES using the command /c/mint/1-16-0/xaaes/xaloader.prg (= 
XaAES and jinnee loaded)
	switch to XaAES menu, select quit => FREEZE
Restarting again: same steps and it works alright.
If I want to switch between applications using CTRL+ALT+TAB => FREEZE.

PS: I installed now the complete easymint set (i.e. network, 
developement and libs are added).
Network (Ping and FTP) is running nicely.
