Never had a problem with older PC's and laptops using v4.11
What is wrong here?
thanks for your help in advance.

Did you try all CDROM drivers manually?

There is a workaround (boot a little ISO with only the Freedos image and the dosapps):
Download: http://ubcd.stopspazzing.com/downloads/ ... bcd.iso.gz

Place fdubcd.iso.gz in your extracted UBCD directory:

Add the following to ubcd/menus/syslinux/main.cfg and ubcd/menus/isolinux/main.cfg:

See the wiki for more info about remastering the iso:

This should be added the next release until they can get it worked out.
