How to Use the Ultimate Boot CD ?

Maybe I overlooked this and it already exists, but I did not see it. Maybe it is a case of "if you have to ask, you don't need it" but I think it would be useful to have a guide on what to do for a computer that will not boot.
Perhaps a few basic scenarios, in response to some common error messages such as..
(These are some examples that I am making up from memory)
"Not a bootable disk"
"Invalid FAT"
"Missing MBR"
and for each of these (and some others) a suggested sequence of boot with the UBCD, run this tool, then do this, then do this, etc.
I have made myself an Ultimate Boot CD, tested it, and it boots, and I can navigate using the menus. I do not have a problem now, but when I do, I would like to have more of an idea of what to do than I do now.
