How To: Install UBCD on Hard Disk

Hello,

this is the tip to install UBCD on hardisk ( IDE, USB ) :

- decompress the UBCD iso file with 7zip

- create a FAT32 primary partition with your favorite partition tool manager

- download syslinux software:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/

- decompress the syslinux archive, and copy the file "syslinux.exe" from the "win32" directory to your work directory

- open a command line from your work directory and type:
"syslinux.exe -maf X:" where "X:" is the letter of your boot partition for UBCD

- copy all files from the "syslinux" directory ( except the "ldlinux.sys" file) of your UBCD files to the root of the boot partition

- copy all files and directories of UBCD to the boot partition

that's all :)

your hard disk ( USB, IDE ) should now boot exactly like a standard UBCD

but there is a bug on some notebooks and motherboards: freedos can hang at startup :/

"memdisk" is probably guilty, this module can have problem to launch Freedos/MSDOS on some laptop/notebook

hi, just a bit confused: by UBCD files do you mean all the files that were extracted from the UBCD iso file or the files in directory named "UBCD"
