Extract the content of UBCD to your harddisk. I am assuming the content of UBCD is in c:\ubcd.

Download pm8make.zip and extract to any folder.

Follow the instructions in "readme.txt" to create a bootable 2.88MB disk image called pm8.img from two 1.44MB Partition Magic V8 rescue disk images.

Move pm8.img to c:\ubcd\custom.

Edit "c:\ubcd\custom\custom.cfg" with a text editor:

Code:
MENU INCLUDE /menus/defaults.cfg
LABEL back
  MENU LABEL ..
  KERNEL menu.c32
  APPEND /menus/main.cfg
LABEL pm8
  MENU LABEL Partition Magic V8.0
  KERNEL memdisk
  APPEND initrd=/custom/pm8.img


That's it! Create a customized UBCD image using "c:\ubcd\tools\ubcd2iso\ubcd2iso.bat" and you are ready to launch Partition Magic from "User-Defined Tools".

What do you mean by "I can't" ?
Do you get an error message when trying ? If so, what does it say ?
If not, what seems to be the problem ? Can't find some file ?
Did you extract the ISO ?

I can't get the file when i use the 'ubcd2iso.bat' it does not produce the file for me. I did extract the UBCD40.iso but i still kept the C:\UBCD40.iso. I never got an error message will my UBCD.iso that was made from that be else where?

How about posting the console output so that we can try to figure out what's wrong?

That is for an older version of UBCD.

Do you have UBCD V3.4 or V4?

I don't get it. You should be following this HOWTO for V4.0, which does not mention scn files (which are V3.4 only), just cfg files.

I get the following error when trying to re-create the custom image.

Quote:

Press any key to continue . . .


I have checked myself and isolinux.bin *IS* there. :-/

I had to use Ashampoo to burn the CD as UBCD2ISO won't burn it so i made an ISO in Ashampoo Burning Studio 6 and burn it from there

You need to actually type

"UBCD2ISO D:\UBCD B:"

Where you change B: to the letter of your USB stick.

Check out this thread.

Basically, the app you used to extract the content of the ISO image made everything uppercase, but mkisofs is case-sensitive.

2 days and still not working is it suppose to extract it back to C:\ubcd40.iso when using c:\tools\ubcd2iso\ubcd2iso.bat?

I think am asking u that because i looked at the bat file it is saids (See bold)

Code:
@echo off

rem * Create a bootable UBCD ISO image
rem *
rem * Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD): http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
rem * syslinux: http://syslinux.zytor.com/

@echo on
@if "%debug%"=="" echo off

if "%1"==":" if not "%2"=="" goto %2

if "%1"=="" goto _help
if "%2"=="" goto _help

echo UBCD2ISO: Creating bootable UBCD ISO image ...

if not exist mkisofs.exe                %0 : _error Missing file 'mkisofs.exe'
if not exist "%1\isolinux\isolinux.bin" %0 : _error Missing file '%1\isolinux\ISOLINUX.BIN'
if not exist wait.com                   %0 : _error Missing file 'wait.com'

pushd "%1"
%~p0\mkisofs.exe -N -J -joliet-long -D -V "UBCD40" -o "%2" -b "isolinux/ISOLINUX.BIN" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .
popd
if errorlevel 0 goto _success
%0 : _error 'mkisofs.exe' failed

:_success
echo UBCD2ISO: Bootable UBCD ISO image has been created
echo.
wait 3
if not "%3"=="-Y" if not "%3"=="-y" pause
goto _end

:_help
echo.
echo UBCD2ISO: Create bootable UBCD ISO image
echo.
echo Params:   -Y : No pause (for batch-mode)
echo.
echo Usage:    UBCD2ISO (UBCD-path) (output-image) [params]
echo.
echo Example:  UBCD2ISO c:\ubcd c:\ubcd40.iso
echo           ([b]UBCD extracted in dir 'c:\ubcd', ISO image written to 'c:\ubcd40.iso[/b]')
echo.
echo Required: W2K/XP/W2K3 and UBCD extracted to local storage
echo.
pause
goto _end

:_error
shift
shift
echo.
echo (ERROR) %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
echo.
pause
goto _end

:_end


Well so far i have tried made 'isolinux.bin' in uppercase but the folder 'c:\isolinux' in lower case but thats they way i have done it and all the rest is in uppercase apart from 'c:\ubcd\custom' folder

can't find out what the problem is here i am using isobuster is there anyway extract 'c:\uncd40.iso' output lowercase?

When using isobuster to extract, make sure you select the Joliet icon (blue marked by ">>>") instead of the ISO icon (red marked by "ISO").

Then select all the files/folders in the right window (should be all lowercase) and drag-and-drop them to the target folder in Windows Explorer.
