Ultimate Boot CD

Hey, think I have it now. Now images are uncompressed, in 8.3 filename format. The *28.img works now. Must have been the combination of several factors.

Thanks for all the help!

Don't know if it matters, but I noticed while in UBCD command prompt... When doing a DIR, the files are trunc'd to 8 chars. So I renamed the pqdi2k288.ima to pqdi2k28.ima. I changed the custom.scn to reflect this also. Just to clear up my first post, and correct the file name in this thread. n0nuf

Just want to confirm.. at the console prompt, did you type: memdisk /images/xxx.imz or: memdisk xxx.imz It is a long shot, but I am just wondering whether it is a path problem i.e. your user images are not placed in /images. I suspect it should not be something too complicated, since the CDShell sc...

From the command prompt I just type... memdisk /images/pqdi2k28.ima (worked with .imz before I changed it) and that kicks it off. ok? Another question... When my image is booted... I DO NOT have access to my local hard drives as I do when I just boot a floppy disk. Is there a reason for this? This s...

Well, you're not wrong. If you read a little closer, I've stated that I have tried BOTH memdisk and diskemu. You were right about the IMZ being compressed. I checked in the TYPE dialog while saving.

Thanks for the info.

None of the images I'm using are compressed. They are created with WinImage6.

Well, I find that the menu SCR does not work. BUT, if I use F10 and drop directly to command prompt from UBCD, that I can manually boot an image using memdisk [image].

Anyone know if there's a bug in the menu? Can anyone see a problem with my script above?

Thank you,

I have placed these images in: C:\UBCD\images. I have edited C:\UBCD\boot\menus\custom.scn with the following: # # User-defin...
