I tried to add a custom boot floppy image with ghost.exe on it to UBCD. After decompressing the image, the boot hangs with the message:
Loading boot sector... Booting...
I tried creating the image in all possible ways I could: tried the tools on nu2 homepage, tried to add switches to memdisk, even used an old computer with win98 to create boot floppies and also created a ghost boot disk using the 'virtual floppy drive' program. The result is always the same.
The images work as standalone boot cd's fine and so do the original UBCD images.
Any ideas?

First of all, thanks for ur hard work with UBCD !!
Same problem here.
Im trying to build custom floppy images to update bios of some motherboards. I format the floppy from WinXP as a bootable floppy and put bios files inside it and image size is exactly 1,474,560 bytes. The disquete boots fine from floppy drive but when i try to load it from UBCD says :
Disk is floppy 0, 1440k, C/H/S = 80/2/18
...
Loading boot sector... booting...
Starting...
and hangs there forever.
I tried to build the image with Winimage and FloppyImage (always with uncompressed image setting) with no success.
Whats happening?

Huh ... my question might sound stupid, but... are you sure you made a system floppy ?
