You can try Offline NT Password & Registry Editor on the UBCD. I am not sure that it supports raid, but you can try.

Or download and build ubcd4win http://www.ubcd4win.com.
Use the Sala Password Renew program to:
- (re)set the passwords of any user that has a valid local account
- create a new local user with administrator rights
- set administrator rights to existing user on your NT system

If ubcd4win doesn't see your drives, look at http://ubcd4win.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9814
If you have problems with ubcd4win, ask your questions at their forum.

Gparted is also the partition manager of Parted Magic, so I don't think that Victor will include both Parted Magic and Gparted live cd in UBCD.

3 disk raids I am not to shore about the Raid controller it an Adaptec with 7k?

Can some one suggest any way I can reset/recover/add admin account to the server
I have tried all sorts of software and had no luck mainly because of the raid
I have looked at Knoppix this is ok but still the UBCD is loads better I have got a lot of the information off the server but still no access to it I don�t want to reinstall

The other problem is that it was connected to a wan via a Cisco Pix 501
It may need domain controller or sumet like that?

option to install UBCD on hard disk :: Discussion

We can install UBCD on USB sticks but there is no option to install UBCD on hard disk ( USB hard disk or internal hard disk )

but it is possible to install UBCD on hardisk with syslinux software :

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1327

but we must modify the "dosubcd.igz" file in "/images" directory to fix a bug about the CD-ROM letter in order to run "Freedos" correctly when UBCD is installed on hard disk

my modification is to edit the "ubcd.bat" file present in "dosubcd.igz", this file try to find the letter where UBCD is installed but it fails because UBCD runs on "C:" and not on CD-ROM,

so my solution is to set the %ubcddrv% variable to "C:", then all dos applications can now be launched with freedos and UBCD menus even if UBCD is installed on hard disk

Hello,

can you integrate "gparted live cd" on the next UBCD release ?

it's probably the best partition tool manager, multilanguage and easy to use with a graphical interface like partition magic:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

I managed to integrate gparted live cd in UBCD 4.1.1

I have found a way to update the g4u image.

I constructed a minimal freedos image to which I added bsdboot.com.
bsdboot.com is able to boot the NetBSD kernel of g4u from dos.

Because g4u consists of multiple floppy images nowdays, I had to make a large floppy disk image. This requires that you must pass the correct geometry of the disk to memdisk.

The correct parameters are given in the memdisk_parameters.txt file, which is available in the archive which you can download from the site mentioned below.

This archive contains a builded image and also the tools to build a new one by yourself.
You need a linux distro to build it.

Read the README.txt from that archive. It explains what all the files do.

See http://ubcd.110mb.com/ for more details.

You need a newer version of isolinux than that which is included in UBCD for the CONIFIG command.

Code:

LABEL ubcd
MENU LABEL ^2 UBCD 4.1.1
CONFIG /sysresc/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

See http://syslinux.zytor.com/ for more information on isolinux.

But most of the programs of ubcd won't work if you place them in a subfolder ubcd. You have to update all the cfg files in the menus folder of ubcd, but all the dosapps wo'nt work.

The next version of ubcd will have most of its folders inside a folder called ubcd so then you can do what you want to do now.

See the Tutorials & How-Tos part of the forum. There you can find a lot of information about including linux distro's.

After looking at the Trinity Rescue Kit, I am still more inclined on keeping Parted Magic.

The really neat bit about the Trinity Rescue Kit is the "Virusscan" script, which wraps 5 different virusscanners. The "updatetrk" script also helps to update the virus signatures automatically, which is a plus.

But other than that, the other apps seems to be available on Parted Magic as well: ntfsundelete, ddrescue, ntfsclone, tesdisk, photorec etc.

In summary, the features/size ratio still points to Parted Magic as the keeper for me.

If only there's a smallish anti-malware liveCD that can be integrated as well, that will be cool.

Hello all,this is my first thread here trying to find the answer to this problem:I want to make a multiboot cd which contains ubcd among a linux distro and other utilities.The thing is that i use isolinux route ,and made a folder called "multiboot" containing the subfolders "boot","ubcd","miniubuntu",etc.My question is :what commands/entries do i have to write in isolinux.cfg from "boot" folder to make ubcd work,because right now it is not.This is a part from my isolinux.cfg,regarding ubcd:

Code:

LABEL ubcd
MENU LABEL ^2 UBCD 4.1.1
KERNEL /ubcd/isolinux/menu.c32
APPEND /ubcd/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

What could be the right syntax to make ubcd to work ?When i choose from the cd menu the ubcd option,i get a second screen with 2 options:boot and main.if i choose main nothing's happening only a refresh of the virtual screen,and if i choose boot ,a message saying "Booting..." appear at the bottom of the virtual screen and freeze right there.Thanks in advance to all that will help me.

I just looked at SystemRescueCD, and think I will still go with Parted Magic.

First, the size is far too big (190MB vs. 37MB). Plus it seems that fewer features can be accessed from the GUI. At least I can't find a way to mount an NTFS partition from the GUI.

Just looked at RIP. Parted Magic is still my keep for now. RIP is roughly twice the size of Parted Magic (72MB vs. 37MB), and I like Parted Magic's UI better, plus it is much easier to mount an NTFS partition under Parted Magic, as least to a newbie like myself.

If only Parted Magic comes with some anti-malware software...

Does anyone know if there's a LiveCD that is dedicated to anti-malware without the bloat?

There is a post on this already from (I believe kof94) but can't seem to find it now. If I find it I'll post a link.

You can use the search tool and find it, but a few posts pop up so it may take a bit of hunting to find the exact posts...

I created a separate ntpwd.cfg file:

===============================================
LABEL back
MENU LABEL ..
KERNEL menu.c32
APPEND /menus/filesys4.cfg
LABEL ntpwd
MENU LABEL Offline NT Password & Registry Editor 070927 (default)
KERNEL /boot/ntpwd/vmlinuz
APPEND rw vga=1 init=/linuxrc initrd=/boot/ntpwd/initrd.cgz,/boot/ntpwd/scsi.cgz
LABEL nousb
MENU LABEL Skip Loading USB devices
KERNEL /boot/ntpwd/vmlinuz
APPEND rw vga=1 init=/linuxrc initrd=/boot/ntpwd/initrd.cgz,/boot/ntpwd/scsi.cgz nousb

LABEL irqpoll
MENU LABEL IRQ Error Fix (some devices)
KERNEL /boot/ntpwd/vmlinuz
APPEND rw vga=1 init=/linuxrc initrd=/boot/ntpwd/initrd.cgz,/boot/ntpwd/scsi.cgz irqpoll

=============================================

edited filesys4.cfg offline section with:

LABEL offline
MENU LABEL Offline NT Password & Registry Editor 070927
KERNEL menu.c32
APPEND /menus/ntpwd.cfg

in place of current/original

============================================

Under ubcd/boot create a directory ntpwd and extract the following files from the ISO image into this directory..

vmlinuz
initrd.cgz
scsi.cgz

==============================================

I think that's it - if not maybe one of the fine people of the forum can help...

I purchased the UBCD, which was stuck on a UB magazine, in a book store. I took it home, inserted it into my CD drive, which has the XP operating system and everything worked very well. I took the UBCD out of the XP system and inserted it into another computer running Windows 2K. My Win 2K system is the one that won't boot up and I thought that this UBCD would help me fix it. I inserted the UBCD into the CD drive and it spins with lights glowing and then stops. A message says "insert disk in drive D", which is my CD drive. I must have restarted this process 20 times. I checked the CD drive by putting another CD in it and it works just find. So I don't think its the CD drive. Can anyone help me out here. I would be very appreciative.

I have currently integrated Parted Magic into UBCD5, 'cos I like its simple UI, Firefox browser, direct mounting of NTFS partitions from EmelFm2 and small size. The only downside is that it doesn't have any anti-malware tools AFAIK.

I will be looking at SystemRescueCD and Trinity Rescue Kit, as suggested in this thread. I will add RIP to the list then.

But I am hesitant to include anything that's too large into UBCD for obvious reasons.
