Download the MEMDISK version of http://ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2028 again (new version).

It should work with Dell Diagnostics now (this ISO uses hard disk emulation which wasn't supported in the previous version of the ISO booting MEMDISK).

I also changed my first post (found the error in your config file):
This is wrong (INITRD line should have only a path to a image):

Quote:

LABEL -
MENU LABEL Dell Diags
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/memdisk
INITRD /ubcd/images/diags.img harddisk

Try this:

Quote:

LABEL -
MENU LABEL Dell Diags
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/memdisk
INITRD /ubcd/images/diags.img
APPEND harddisk

MEMDISK should be smart enough to detect that this is a hard disk image, so the following should work too:

Quote:

LABEL -
MENU LABEL Dell Diags
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/memdisk
INITRD /ubcd/images/diags.img

Uploaded a new MEMDISK version (from Syslinux 3.84-pre4 + 2 patches):

The PLoP iso (floppy emulation) and Dell Diagnostics iso (hard disk emulation) work now.

Can you try MEMDISK from Syslinux 3.84-pre4? It has a fix/workaround for PC-DOS.

Your CD from which you want to copy the data, is corrupted (It is probably a CD-R or CD-RW or a CD with scratches).

You can try CD recovery programs, like the one in the next link:

From comments on the web, Linux Linpus seems to be a bit limited in its capabilities:
http://jonhill987.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/ubuntu-netbook-remix-904/

But you can buy the netbook and install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it (is free). It is easy to install additional programs and it is easier than Linpus if you want to tweak it.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix main page:

Ubuntu Netbook Remix info (installing + other stuff):

I am just thinking to buy with this OS..I really don't know much more about it.

Boot With Grub2 on thumbdrive? :: UBCD V4 Support & Troubleshooting

Subject: Boot With Grub2 on thumbdrive?
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 5:23 pm (GMT -8)

I'm trying to make an Uber thumb drive that multiboots 32/64bit ubuntu/debian/gentoo, ultimate bootcd, and eventually ophcrack. Gentoo's a whole other problem, but I've got it multibooting ubuntu and debian, and haven't tried ophcrack yet.

I know UBCD uses syslinux, but am unsure what's really what on the CD. Not sure if maybe I need to try to chainload syslinux. Here's the grub.cfg I tried last

Code:

menuentry "Ubuntu Live 9.10 32bit" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso noeject noprompt --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Ubuntu Live 9.10 64bit" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso noeject noprompt --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Ultimate Boot CD memdisk" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/ubcd411-1.iso
linux (loop)/boot/baslinux
initrd (loop)/boot/baslinux.gz
}

menuentry "Gentoo 32bit" {
loopback loop (hd0,0)/boot/iso/install-x86-minimal-20091103.iso
linux (loop)/isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot cdboot initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 --
initrd (loop)/isolinux/gentoo.igz
}
menuentry "Gentoo 64bit" {
loopback loop (hd0,0)/boot/iso/install-amd64-minimal-20091112.iso
linux (loop)/isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot cdboot initrd=gentoo.igz vga=791 --
initrd (loop)/isolinux/gentoo.igz
}

menuentry "debian installer amd64 netboot" {
linux /boot/debian/linux auto=true priority=critical vga=normal --
initrd /boot/debian/initrd.gz
}

I have tried syslinux and unetbootin for this. I could get each one to bootup individually, but not multiboot. For syslinux/unetbootin, I was following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...80&postcount=5. I also tried extracting it to the thumbdrive, and directly booting it, and that worked for UBCD, but I was unable to get the linux distros I wanted to boot using syslinux/unetbootin in a multiboot setup.

I suppose that it's entirely possible that I could just bypass the UBCD menu system, and use grub2 to boot each of the floppy images from it. This seems like a really cluttered menu. It might be a solution if somebody knows of a way to create sub-menus, though.

I'm honestly not sure if I'm trying to load it up with the right kernel and initial ramdisk, and if there are other append options I should use. If somebody pointed me in the right directions for a kernel and a ramdisk to use, I could try extracting the disk and trying to boot from the files instead of the ISOs.

UBCD doesn't install anything when your run it.
GRUB doesn't get automatically installed when you run UBCD.
You did install it yourself, by pressing some keys (and probably running Super Grub Disk).

Write a new MBR with Testdisk.

Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 12:42 am (GMT -8)

Hello. A few weeks ago, I had a problem with my computer (blank screen, no post codes from motherboard), and I tried using UBCD in a USB drive to boot up.

It turns out that it was a busted graphics card (and no post codes was due to the speaker cable not being plugged in. Doh!). So now it's all fixed.

The problem is, I now get a message each time I boot up (or come out of hibernation):

"Booting GRLDR
Resetting the boot driver..."

The only explanation I have is that UBCD installed something on my computer and that is that is now causing this message. I have not installed Linux, which is the top result when searching for GRLDR.

I did not get a chance to try out UBCD (as I said, it was a broken graphics card, so the PC worked fine other than having no visual display, and so I couldn't see what UBCD was doing), so I don't know how far it got into it's 'install' (does it even install?)

So, my question is, how do I get rid of this message? What files do I need to delete on my PC to remove UBCD completely?
I am running Vista Ultimate x64

Thanks in advance

You need to burn the iso as image to the CD (not as file).
http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm

The CD should boot up, when you changed the BIOS to "Boot CD first".
See also the FAQ for possible problems and solutions:
http://ultimatebootcd.com/faq.html

If you need to burn a new CD, you can also try UBCD50RC1, which has much recent versions of all programs.

Is there a GPU stress Tester in the Ultimate CD? I need something to stress some powerful GPU? Generally I would use 3Dmark but I don't have access to an OS on this computer to install anything. Anything as heavy as 3DMark06? That will really bog down top of the line GPU?

When starting up my computer, it hangs at the windows xp symbol. When I try to start it up in Safe Mode, it stops at TDI.SYS. After doing some internet research, I found this site (http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t85369.html) which has a guy claiming that he used the chkdsk /r command through UBDC in order to fix the problem. So, I made a UBCD, but can't find a way to run the command. Is there a way to do this? Is there another way to fix this problem?

Hi,

I'm still trying the Release Candidate 1 of UBCD on a few PCs.

I'm just end to try on a netbook (acer aspire one a150), i've got a usb cdrom drive, i've try to start a custom floppy image, it's starts (boot on my custom floppy) and freeze my netbook before the end of execution. I've tried with UBCD50B12 same issue.

I've also checked the same tool on my others pcs, seems to meet the same problem. Tool : Powerquest Partition Magic DOS version 8.0

But with my very old UBCD 3.4 it works fine (same custom floppy).

With UBCD50B12 and UBCD50RC1 it stucks at the same time after loading himem.sys.

Any idea?

Joe

You can try to unplug the HDD, boot UBCD from CD, reconnect the drive.
I am not sure if MHDD will detect your drive after the reconnect, but you can try.

Right so I decided to get myself a hackintosh running so I freed up 30 gig on my xp partition, partitioned it with partition magic, rebooted all fine.

Installed mac osx install went o.k, reboot

"invalid system disk" error

Downloaded UBCD and booted into windows from that, works fine so the partition is o.k

Backed up my mbr then ran fixmbr from windows recovery console. Didn't work.

Did the same thing from UBCD, didn't work same error.

So scratching my head a bit, don't want to play about any more without some advice.

So here's the deal got a primary partition from the start of the disk with winxp, then an extended partition containing a single partition with mac osx in.

Any ideas?

Ideally I'd like to have a menu with the option to choose either xp or mac at boot, but I don't know the best way to accomplish it, any help appreciated.
