Ah, a wee bit of fiddling. Instructions here: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=10806&st=0. I edited the pe2usb-f32.cmd found here http://usb.smithtech.us/pe/instructions.htm so I could have a fat32 USB stick. Commented out entries to format usb and set the target to HD so I can run it and update iso as needed then copy new iso to my usb.

Menu.lst entry for grub4dos 0.4.4:

# Boot BartPE by finding ntldr
title BartPE
find --set-root /ntldr
chainloader /ntldr

Also just discovered that grub4dos 0.4.4 can boot vista directly by calling bootmgr but it is moot as you have to get grub4dos booting at some stage so might as well rename it and get it booting first up.

I used bootsect to write the vista bootsector on the stick which calls bootmgr, renamed the actual bootmgr to bootmgrv (menu.lst entry calls bootmgrv for
WinPE booting), and grldr to bootmgr so grub4dos is loaded at boot.

Works really well and is very easy to update with new isos etc as they turn up.

How did you make BartPE boot without a blue-screen? I am yet to make an XP based anything (preinstall, system recovery, etc. environment) that will boot from an ISO successfully.

Agree with the ISOs...quick and to use and super easy to update.

Ext4 access ? :: UBCD V5 Support & Troubleshooting

Hello,

It's my first message because I'm a new user of UBCD.
With it, I can access to a filesystem inside LVM (it is the only tool which I can access to it !!!), but the filesystem is in ext4. So, I can't mount it to backup my data.
Do you have any idea ?

Thank you.

running UBCD from usb thumb drive...garbled/corrupt text :: UBCD V4 Support & Troubleshooting

Subject: running UBCD from usb thumb drive...garbled/corrupt text
Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 7:06 pm (GMT -8)

Hi all,

First off, thanks for this great software kit!

I have a laptop that I am trying to format+install windows XP on. The cd drive is broker, and PXE is too time consuming for me to setup. I made a WinXP boot/install disk out of my 2gb thumb drive, but it gives me a BSOD 0x000007b, saying that i should run chkdsk.

So I find UBCD, and download it, extract the ISO, open the UBCD2USB folder in the tools folder, and run the .bat program. It says it installs to my USB thumb drive with no problem, and it does indeed boot on the target laptop.

The problem is that no matter what utility I seem to run, it goes through the linux-like boot loading, and then spits me out on a command prompt with the top half of the screen showing a file browser. Unfortunately, no matter what directory I go into, the names of all the files are corrupted and are nothing more than random characters that I can't read.

I just want to go in, run a partition program make my C drive have one partition (i did have it using like 4), and format it with NTFS so I can once again try my WinXP boot thumb drive.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Quote:

The line 63 should be changed to:

That line is correct, since it is looking for a file on the target to make sure the copying was successful. %a2% contains the target drive.

Quote:

Also the instructions should be clearer to indicate the source path. One suggestion is to put the path just one level above the [BOOT] folder.

I don't quite understand this. Do you have a more concrete example?

I think also that you are talking about UBCD4Win. You can't install programs when running from UBCD4Win as it is running from a CD/DVD. You can however use a plugin and one is included with UBCD4Win. Install the Paragon Harddisk Manager on your regular install of Windows and in the plugins section of UBCD4Win go to "Commercial Software" section and highlight the Paragon HD manager entry and click the "Config" button.

You can get further support at the UBCD4win forum. -> http://ubcd4win.com/forum

Wrong drive letter in UBCD :: UBCD V4 Support & Troubleshooting

Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:50 pm (GMT -8)

Alright, first off let me say that I am new to UBCD, but it looks like the best tool I have ever found. The only problem is, it seems to try and read a: instead of c:, making it impossible to do anything with. I cannot do anything on the laptop (Dell) that I am trying to work on. Does anyone know how to change where the programs are looking so I can try and replace the missing ntldr files for this windows machine?

As a final note, in case anyone can help me, I found this tool only after searching for every other possible way to fix this damn error. I cannot even access the partition using a cd loaded copy of ubuntu

Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 12:48 pm (GMT -8)

Hi ngk,

SGE is a software encryption program that adds itself to various parts of the Windows registry and to the MBR (master boot record) of the drive.

To wipe it from the HD and allow the drive to be recognized on install run the "fixmbr" command.

After wiping the MBR you many need SATA drivers, but in my experience once the MBR is wiped the installion is able to proceed without further issues.

Hope this helps.

Best is really subjective in that many people like varying programs. I for one have used many of the free versions and mostly use AVG and Avast. I have read however that Avira has the best detection rate out along with the most false positives. There are some review sites out there that have tested many versions out, but are usually a version or so behind.

My top suggestions are:

1. AVG
2. Avast
3. Avira
4. Whatever you want....

I don't suggest Norton or Mcafee as I used to many years ago as they are paid versions and so many free versions are just as good. Take this advice with others that post and make your decision as to what you prefer.

I tried that - after UBCD v5 loads to the main menu I select plop - it starts to load but then quickly the whole screen turns ti alight gray background with flashing orange division characters.

Does Plop work with x64 processors? Did I install Plop wrong? Any Ideas?

Also, is it cool to make the code you described above with a menu label?

LABEL -
MENU LABEL Plop
KERNEL /ubcd/boot/plop/plpbt

Let me know what you think I am doing wrong...

You can try Plop bootmanager. It can give you USB2.0 speed.
http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.htm

Download Plop.
Extract it to get the boot manager binary program plpbt.bin.
You have to rename the file plpbt.bin to plpbt (remove .bin).
Put the file in /ubcd/boot/plop/.

Add this to: /ubcd/menus/syslinux/main.cfg

Code:

LABEL -
KERNEL /ubcd/boot/plop/plpbt

Run this entry before you run a program with uses the freedos image. You don't need to load additional USB drivers after that.
