I assume that you have made a custom version of UBCD v4.11 with slax.
You can try to update isolinux to the last version (v3.71 for the moment):
Download the
syslinux package from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/.
Extract the syslinux archive to
"c:\syslinux\".
To update isolinux for the CD version
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\isolinux.bin" to
"c:\ubcd\isolinux\".
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\com32\menu\menu.c32" to
"c:\ubcd\isolinux\"
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\com32\modules\chain.c32" to
"c:\ubcd\isolinux\"
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\memdisk\memdisk" to
"c:\ubcd\isolinux\"
To update syslinux for the bootable USB key
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\ldlinux.sys" to
"c:\ubcd\syslinux\").
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\mbr\mbr.bin" and
"c:\syslinux\ldloader.bss" to
"c:\ubcd\tools\ubcd2usb\".
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\com32\menu\menu.c32" to
"c:\ubcd\syslinux\"
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\com32\modules\chain.c32" to
"c:\ubcd\syslinux\"
- Copy
"c:\syslinux\memdisk\memdisk" to
"c:\ubcd\syslinux\"
Remaster the CD with the batch file
ubcd2iso.bat
Usage: UBCD2ISO (UBCD-path) (output-image) [params]
Example: UBCD2ISO "c:\ubcd" "c:\ubcd.iso"
(UBCD extracted in dir 'c:\ubcd', ISO image written to 'c:\ubcd.iso')
If you mean the original slax CD:
Update
/boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
Update the
/boot/syslinux/ directory (all files exept for
lilo and
syslinux.cfg)
Remaster the slax iso.
Run
/slax/make_iso.bat with the right parameters.
usage: make_iso.bat c:\new-slax.iso
Try to burn this iso with Image Burn or InfraRecorder (freeware):
Instructions (also for Nero):

You also burn the CD at a lower speed, to avoid write errors.
