Can someone do me a quick favour? If any of you have UBCD set-up on a USB stick, could you possibly boot the device and type the following in the command prompt:
Assuming the USB drive is set to drive letter "T", it should report "0" or "1" (I need to be sure before releasing the next FreeDOS update).
Thanks

My usb stick is on C: ==> output:
0
For:
it dislpays
100 (no cd drive).
If you start it form a menu with
ubcdcmd=some_program_name, it won't launch the program (can't find the usb drive).
When I do the following, it works:

I am not sure where you would like for me to type this cmd line at? cmd in windows? boot line? within memdisk? Could you clarify?

Boot a program that uses the freedos image. It won't boot correctly. You will see Q:\.
Type first drd to see which drive letters are currently assigned.
Then type vc and see which drive letter corresponds with your thumb drive.
Then run (replace t: with the drive letter of your thumb drive):
drd t: -$

I had that same exact problem, but I got it corrected. Mine correctly boots into the specified cmd or program. I will run this command however. Thanks.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I got freedos to work on my usb stick after recieving the same strange problem that icecube described to me. I thought it was strange that my usb stick wouldn't work but my cd that I burned would. So I figured that maybye a file was missing or some other file became corrupted. I then copied the whole cd to a folder in my usb stick and replaced everything with the contents that I copied from the cd. Afterwards, it worked flawlessly. The only catch is that one time it reverted back to the same problem, so I redid all of the steps above and I haven't had a problem since.
