I keep forgetting to ask you this question. Back when Windows XP came out I recall hearing folks going on and on many times that Microsoft had somehow matched up the hard drive to the PC it was shipped in and that it could not be used in any other PC except the one it came with. Do you know if this is really this true? Thanks

Hello,

as for 5.0b12 release, I propose a French translation of this nice release.

I provide two files: an archive of all modified files and a xdelta patch for the official 5.0rc1 ISO.

A big thanks for the great work and see you next release.

@Astral God: Thanks for the help offer, the harder problem is to had French keyboard support to busybox for some utilities (offline, dban...) as the keymap are not included by default. I hope finding a solution before final release.

I need to change my C:\boot.ini to C:\boot.ini.bak

The support person that is helping me fix my computer suggested I could use UBCD to do this but they are unfamiliar with the program and can not guide me.

Can I do this with this program?

My computer will not boot into safe mode or normal mode. I used the msconfig to try to get to safe mode and since that does not work it is stuck. I have already gotten the computer to boot to the UBCD disk.

Thanks!

It seems I have a knack for PC troubles. My daughter brought me a PC to use that could burn a CD. I decided to pop in disk #8 of the restore CD's as that was where the problems were with PC #2. I just wanted to explore the disk to see if the files were actually there but the PC didn't read them or the restore #8 was defective. I was able to look at it but time was limited right then so figured to go back later and run search etc looking for the files.
OK, so when I go back again windows screen where you choose "start normally" "last known good configuration" and safe modes. I used last known good. The WinXP loading page comes up, the one where the little blue dashes move across bottom of screen. Then it goes to the color circle, center screen which should be clickable but isn't. After a few seconds the PC stops trying to read anything except for a couple blips of the light.
I'm afraid the problem was created when I put that system type disk in and it is made for that Media Center XP OS and not the 2008 XP. Should I use one of the software programs to try to get this latest PC back running? If so, which one do you suggest?
For the other 2 PC's so far I have looked at the UBCD and was looking for the testdisk program and could not find it on the CD. I went into a couple of the programs just to get an idea what it was like and am thinking this may be over my head. I know nothing about DOS, my first PC was a Win95. Do you know where I should look to find the testdisk on the CD?
Thanks again!

The iso-scan/filename= is not a general trick to let everything work. Each linux distribution can use its own cheatcode.

Give the contents of the isolinux.cfg of the Knoppicilin iso
and the directory structure of the iso.

Try UBCD50RC1.
Set your BIOS settings to use "USB Legacy support".

Hey there,

once again a question. Windows 7 Setup and Ubuntu works perfectly, many thanks to IceCube.

Now i would like to integrate Knoppicilin, an antivirus solution based on Knoppix.

http://www.heise.de/software/download/knoppicillin_download_edition/37894

I downloaded the iso and mounted it with an virtual cd emulator. I copied from the folder /boot/isolinux two files "linux" and "winitr.gz" which are similar to vmlinux and initrd.lz into /ubcd/custom/knoppicilin. Then I copied the iso as kc6.iso in /ubcd/images. I put the following entries in /ubcd/custom/custom.cfg

LABEL Knoppicilin
MENU LABEL Knoppicilin 6
LINUX /ubcd/custom/knoppicilin/linux
INITRD /ubcd/custom/knoppicilin/winitr.gz
APPEND boot=boot iso-scan/filename=/ubcd/images/kc6.iso quiet splash --

If I use the new entry it boots the kernel, but the I get the error message "Knoppix Filesystem not found".

Any hints whats going wrong?

Kind regards

I am also facing the same problem. I have tried replacing the usb keyboard also. I am going to try updating to the new version. If it still does not work i will have to look for another solution. Please suggest some other method. Thanks!

HDD ==> Diagnosis ==> Drive Fitness Test V4.14 (IBM/Hitachi)
HDD ==> Device Info and Management ==> Feature Tool V2.13 (IBM/Hitachi)

The free version of Killdisk doesn't offer anything new that isn't already on UBCD: http://www.killdisk.com/

Acronis True Image WD Edition is a Windows program. In Parted Magic, you can find cloning tools.

If you have UBCD version 5, boot Parted Magic.
It will easily give you access to your NTFS partitions.

Code:

MENU LABEL Try Ubuntu 9.10 without any change to your computer
LINUX /ubcd/custom/ubuntu/vmlinuz
INITRD /ubcd/custom/ubuntu/initrd.lz
APPEND boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso quiet splash --

place the Ubuntu iso (ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso in the root of your USB stick (if you place it in /ubcd/images, adapt to: iso-scan/filename=/ubcd/image/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso)
Extract the vmlinuz and initrd.lz in /casper folder of the ISO (use 7-zip) and place them in /ubcd/custom/ubuntu.

You can add your custom entries in /ubcd/custom/custom.cfg (or in the UBCD config files /ubcd/menus/syslinux/)

For Windows 7/Vista, you need this:

Code:

LABEL win7
MENU LABEL Boot Windows Vista/2008/7 (bootmgr)
COM32 /boot/syslinux/chain.c32
APPEND ntldr=/bootmgr

You can't add Ubuntu live in its original form (with the nice boot menu), but if you know which options you select to boot it, I can try to give you the right command line.
Which version of Ubuntu?

You can read how the boot entries work, by donwloading the Syslinux package and by reading the documents in /doc.

You can adapt the iso's to use the Firadisk driver
http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=94

Then you can use grub4dos iso booting to load those iso's.

I didn't try it myself, so you have to try it out yourself.

If you know which files you have to replace, yes. But you better try the Windows Recovery console to fix those kind of problems.

Hey,

I installed UBCD on an USB-Stick, I noticed that there is an entry "User Images". Is there anywhere a guide how to add some own boot entries?

I would like to add a windows 7 installation dvd and an ubuntu live system.

Kind regards
