Re: exit parted magic to main menu ubcd

I thought that you were asking how to exit from pmagic's boot menu, back to UBCD's (main) boot menu. I misunderstood your initial question. What you are asking is: how to "exit" an OS (pmagic) without rebooting. Whichever the OS would be, the answer is: that is not possible; you either reb...

Re: exit parted magic to main menu ubcd

Using the original UBCD 5.3.8, when you are at the pmagic boot menu you could: 1_ Press [Esc] 2_ Type: config.c32 /ubcd/menus/syslinux/main.cfg 3_ Press [Enter] If you can customize UBCD, you could edit the file: pmagic\boot\syslinux\syslinux.cfg and add to it a new entry (e.g. at the very end of th...

Re: Simple sound/audio check?

In a BIOS (not UEFI) system, boot UBCD -> fdubcd -> at the FreeDOS/fdubcd command prompt, type-in "beep" and press [Enter].

Re: Boot From CD/DVD Locked To Only UBCD

By your own description, something is not "as correct as you suppose it is". Let me explain what I mean. You mention "NVRAM", which implies a UEFI system. UBCD cannot boot in UEFI mode, so you must have booted it in CSM mode. You also mention that "BIOS settings are correct&...

Re: Boot UBCD on laptop with UEFI and NO legacy boot option

Considering that almost all the tools included in UBCD (version 5.3.8. ) depend on using BIOS (or CSM aka "legacy mode"), not UEFI, there is not much to do after booting UBCD in UEFI mode anyway.

Re: Asus laptop BIOS does not recognize UBCD

Your system normally boots with UEFI, not BIOS. Please note that UBCD 5.3.7 does not support UEFI boot. If you have a UEFI machine, please remember to temporarily enable CSM (aka "legacy mode") in your firmware. For UBCD, in your firmware/bios temporarily disable "secure boot", &...

Regarding ISO9660 level 4, it is supported by mkisofs (search for an updated mkisofs' manual) from cdrtools . So, "level 4" is an adequate option for UBCD, especially considering that advance users would be using the script so as to generate a customized UBCD. Now, for the main issue... Wh...

Re: [patch] ubcd2iso.sh errors: I/O redirection; ISO level

When using the script "as-is", without patching it, what is the actual problem that you see? Does the resulting ISO image fail in any way as it is right now in UBCD version 5.3.7 ?

Re: UEFI boot

Everything has pros and cons. Who is going to invest their own time to make this happen (a third bootloader)? Who is going to maintain it? Who is going to support users requesting even more (while the tools cannot take advantage of it)? And the additional MB in the ISO image? The storage and bandwid...

Re: UEFI boot

What you are suggesting is not that simple as you would think. Additionally, the tools included in UBCD are not prepared to run in UEFI mode (not even the Linux distro included). In practice, booting in UEFI mode is not as straightforward as the theory claims it is. Then, every time it fails, users ...
