I think you didn't use UBCD2ISO to build the image before burning it, that's probably why it doesn't boot.

Just open a command line interpreter (typically cmd.exe or command.com) and you'll be able to run the command with parameters ^^

I'm surprised you don't know how to do that, considering what you said in your first post oO

I believe you must run the bat from inside the directory where it actually is, not type the path to it to reach it from another.

tried that comes up witha prompt showing all the options etc than it says press any key to continue so i press a key and the cmd line closes....i cant even type anything....perhaps the reason it closes is because it cant find mkisofs eaither?


hmm well it isnt the x64 Os thats doing it it also wont work on my VM.

From e: prompt..

type " cd Downloads\ubcd411\tools\ubcd2iso\"

then type " ubcd2iso e:\Downloads\ubcd411 e:\Downloads\ubcd411\ubcd.iso

This should work.. the ubcd.iso can be named whatever you want..ie ubcd411.iso etc...
