Ultimate Boot CD

"mod packages" ??? you mean something similar to the bartPE/UBCD4Win plugins? I don't use Linux all that often (shame on me), but I'm sure others might be interested(?). Personally, I prefer to go right to the metal when it comes to these types of modifications since I like to know explici...

well, the ideal set-up would be similar to v4.11 whereby the FreeDOS environment could be easily used after quitting a program launched from BCDW. i have something similar set-up on my personal live cd whereby the freedos menu and help commands prompt users to access further programs without requiri...

thanks for the suggestion, icecube.

expect to see a fix included in revision 1.1 (in the works).

I have found an unimportant "bug". The reboot command doesn't work in a virtual machine (virtualbox and qemu), but on a real machine it should work. When I try "fdapm COLDboot" it works, while "fdapm WARMboot" hangs. I didn't check how you did it exactly but probably j...

Are you telling us to change the log ?

no, son - it's a log of what changes have been made.

NwDsk 3.40, Revision 1.33 Original distribution (c) Bart Lagerweij and Erwin Veermans Overview An updated version of Erwin Veermans' excellent NwDsk (FreeDOS UBCD). This new release features bug-fixes, updates and enhancements from previous revisions (see change log for a complete list of updates/c...

yeah, realised it shortly after posting my dumbass comment (long day at the office).

there's a new kernel? hmm...if so, then all you need to do is replace "kernel.sys" and "command.com" located in the root directory of the image.

if not, then either download DSL (Damn Small Linux), burn the ISO and gain access to the drive. http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ follow these instructions: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1624/how_to_recover_corrupted_hard_drive_ntfs_files Icecube also recommended "Puppy Linux" which is suppo...

i thought i grabbed the right program offline to actually break my daughters password that she put on her computer but when i try to run the program it keeps telling me that mount ntfs for writing failed. I try pushing F8 for a safe mode reboot and it doesnt come into safe mode. She has stuff on he...

I had the some probable with UBCD50B1. as702: I down loaded the link > http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/devload-3.21.zip Can you show us step by step how to use it ? :lol: Thank You If you give me a day or 2, i'm planning on releasing an updated version of NwDsk (FreeDOS b...

hi i got the UBCD from this website and tried the programs listed above and it didn't work, so would the UBCD4Win work? whats the difference between the two? UBCD4Win is good, i agree. You could also do it via DSL Linux (Damn Small Linux). http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ download the ISO and burn. O...

link works fine, buddy.

not meaning to sound like a wet towel, but hasn't support for F-prot ceased? maybe i'm thinking of the DOS version.

i like the push towards getting a more robust/complete form of virus detection/removal up and running.

btw, someone may want to check the ultra-defensive/defensive modes in freedos when loaded with no UMB (it crashes and autoexec breaks).

odd.

i uploaded pciscan for you. download and stick it in the /bin directory. it should work then.

pciscan.exe

In the fd011520.img file, sectors per cluster is 8, not 240...so how do you get 240? christ, how did i do this math (i'm an engineer too). :p capacity(bytes) = cylinders * number of heads per cylinder * number of sectors per head * 512(bytes per sector) ok, "c" should NOT be 240. if we do...

Look for the directory isolinux; the file you're looking for is isolinux.cfg. Open with wordpad and change the "TIMEOUT" parameter to your desired value.

as702: Thanks man! You nailed it! I wonder where do you get the number of the cylinders? I tried to go to Change Format->select custom image format, but it only shows heads and sectors, no info about cylinders? capacity = cylinders * number of heads per cylinder * number of sectors per head * 512 w...

On the link that you gave me it says that msnet.cab should be placed in level3 stick it in level0 . :) type "menu" to access it or type msnet at the command prompt. I can't seem to find the whatnic.cab file on the link. whoops. here you go (not essential but useful in determining what NIC...
