1.- In order to improve the compatibility of the drive with the most number of BIOS, we will format the drive in USB-ZIP compatibility mode, we will make it bootable and we will load syslinux in it (WARNING: THIS WILL REMOVE ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE USB DRIVE)
1.1 Unzip the Makebootfat package to a folder. Unzip Syslinux to another folder and Copy ldlinux.sys, mbr.bin and ldlinux.bss from the Syslinux folder into the makebootfat folder
1.2 Open a DOS window, go to that folder and type
makebootfat -o usb -Z -Y -b ldlinux.bss -m mbr.bin -c ldlinux.sys
2.- Copy all the contents of the \images subfolder of the UBCD into the root of the USB drive
3.- Copy the rest of folders to the USB drive directly, except the boot folder. So your USB drive will have all the subfolders of the UBCD, except for the folders "boot" and "images". Your USB drive root folder will contain all the images.
4.- Remove grub.iso and offline.iso from the root of the USB drive.
5.- Copy the contents of my menu package in the root folder of the USB drive
6.- copy the new images of bcdl, grub and offline to the root of the USB drive.
7.- Rename the freedos image from FDUBCD.IMG to freedos.img and copy it as well to the root of the USB drive.
8.- Copy chain.c32 to the root of the USB drive from the com32/modules subfolder of the syslinux package
I hope somebody finds this useful.

Hello,reblu wrote:I have no problems in releasing the source code. I am not maintaining it anymore, so if someone wants to keep working on it, here is where I uploaded the source code:
http://www.reblusoft.com/ubusb/ubusb_source.zip
I have only managed to compile it in a Linux box. I have modified also the menu system by Murali Krishnan Ganapathy. You will find my modifications marked with REBLU in the source code of the menu subfolder.
i had the same problem. maybe at some point "ubcd.css" was located on the ultimate boot disk, but its not on mine, or yours. What I did was edit the ubcd2usb.cmd file to not check for ubcd.css. So i deleted this line:VCSkier wrote: so i tried a second system. it had an athlon xp processor w/ windows xp sp2. makebootfat.exe worked this time, but the process was then halted and said that ubcd.css was missing... i was using a freshly downloaded and extracted iso of ubcd, and then i tried again w/ the iso burned to a cd, but with the same problem. what could i be doing wrong?
if you hadn't already worked it out ( took me a while, as I had nuked my usb stick and was just reinstalling it now) for even simpler tems...tourane wrote: Hi Reblu,
I have tried your Tuto, but I'm stopped by this line :
makebootfat -o usb -Z -Y -b ldlinux.bss -m mbr.bin -c ldlinux.sys
What is "usb" ? Is the volume name of the key or a folder ?
I see another line by U with :
makebootfat -o usb -Z -Y -b ldlinux.bss -m mbr.bin -c ldlinux.sys image
What is "image" ? is-it a folder ? If it's a folder, I have "Error Opening Image".
Have you build UBCD 3.3 on an USB Key which work ? If yes, can you sent to me your application, because it's Free ? Can you sent to me a "PM" for my "Web space".
I need your help.
Thanks !!!
