on a soft-modded v1.0 using UXE and Nkpatcher10...

lock ups and freezing occured sometimes with reboots and always when rebooting at the end of a profile-switching script.  after pulling my hair out for hours, i noticed that the control panel/storage said that F drive was enabled but the <EnableFDrive> line was nowhere in the config.xmls.  i tricked the dash into adding the line by changing Enable F drive to No and then back to yes and saving.  no freezes any more since it added the line to the config.xml.

dash was installed to C:\fonts\dashboard\default.xbe
profiles and their config.xml were in F:\dashboards\unleashx\profiles\admin\config.xml and F:\dashboards\unleashx\profiles\guest\config.xml

To add to this and maybe correct the problem...
Dvd2Xbox added F&G auto-detecting. Maybe you could look into using that code or base your own code off of doing this, instead of having it in the config.xml at all?

the funny thing is that even though <enablefdrive> was not in the config.xml, the control panel reported it as being enabled and it was accessible.  just had problems with the file copy in the script.  sometimes launching games from F would mess up, but i think that was being caused by something else.
