A little bit more info would be nice:
- Which version of UBCD?
- Original ISO, customised ISO, installed on USB

Also type the full output you see before that line.

I have the newest version (I went on the UBCD site clicked download (maximum 1 week ago) ) and the error appears right below ubcd's boot menu (boot menu does not go away)

P.S. That IS all it says

It is annoying that you only put that valuable piece of information (click on "boot next device") in the title and not in the body of your post. I didn't saw it an was thinking about a corrupt iso.

Boot Next Device is not always implemented by the BIOS.
You can use the following from the boot prompt to boot the first hard disk:

Code: Select all

/boot/syslinux/chain.c32 hd0
Or use the following in the syslinux config file (/ubcd/menus/isolinux/main.cfg):

Code: Select all

LABEL hd0
MENU LABEL Boot Hard Disk 0
COM32 /boot/syslinux/chain.c32
APPEND hd0
