Ultimate Boot CD

Hi Scott, Sorry about the delayed response! I'm actually using ubcd 3.4. Given that I've spent ages customing 3.4 for use at work and home, I don't really want to have to upgrade to 4.1.1 at this stage. But which of these stages is wrong? : a. copy the extracted program file to ubcd's root directory...

Dear All, I've been trying to integrate PartedMagic into ubcd because of its excellent file utilities, but I can't get it to work.

When I extract the files from the image SD appears to use ISOLINUX. However, I try to use the isolinux parameter in the .scn file in ubcd but the program never load...

Hi again, Thanks for your clear and informative response - I got the dos app in question booting nicely!! Having tried VC and NTFS I was wondering whether there was any other dos based file manager that would a) read NTFS, and b) allow one to copy files to a FAT formatted USB stick (NTFS reader does...

Hi there, I'm new to ubcd and the whole customisation process. I've read many really informative posts but have not found clear answers to a couple of basic questions that arose when trying to add a filemanager and an HD identify program to the cd. Would anyone be able to help a newbie? 1. What is a...
