It refuses to boot on my laptop (ThinkPad R51). This is the first time I've tried using UBCD 5. I installed it using the ubcd2usb script and the installation appears to have worked correctly--files are there including ldlinux.sys. <br /> <br /> When trying to boot, I simply get a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the far upper-left of the screen. No matter how long I wait, nothing happens. If I remove the USB key, I'll get an &quot;operating system not found&quot; error. <br /> <br /> Suggestions? UBCD 4.1.1 installed the same way on the same USB key does boot just fine on the same laptop. <br /> <br /> Thanks!</span><br /> burfo UBCD V5 Support & Troubleshooting http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/posting.php?mode=quote&p=7728
