Ultimate Boot CD

I have a copy of my xp os disk, don't think it has the auto load wizard. I have a partitioned HDD and tried one of the UBCD DOS Boot Disk programs. They get me to a dos type screen but I don't know how to proceed. The only time I've done this before was with a floppy. Can I then remove the UBCD from...

Ok, Guess I didn't have to format the Western Digital. I went right to freefdisk and that worked fine. Then I was just playing and selected from UBCD *Boot First Hard Disk. The screen went blank for several minutes so I finally rebooted and now I get this repeating error, "extremly broken bios ...

I'm a newbe. I installed a new 40gig Western Digital HDD but none of the UBCD format options worked so I got a 20gig seagate which worked. Then when I try to reboot for partition I get the error "NTLDTR ctrl-alt-delete" to reboot. Now when I open the ubcd via cdrom and try to access the HD...

I made sure to make the hdd last in BIOS. it's a UBCD that I ordered last week so it came ready to use and properly prepared. Also per UBCD faq disable quick bootin...

Just hitting enter after boot: appeared did the trick for my cd-rom but still no joy with my external dvr/cd rom.

Also, it's a UBCD that I ordered last week so it came ready to use and properly prepared.

Any ideas why using the external dvdrom via usb didn't do anything at all?

MikeLeeB

oh, if it's that easy I'll be really ticked off:) I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks for the quick reply!

I checked the the UBCD FAQ page, the forum's help pages and couldn't figure this out. I have 2 desk tops. I tried to use my external dvdrom via usb but neither would respond to it with the UBCD in it. I made sure to make the hdd last in BIOS. One pc has no cdrom so I tried the cdrom in the other and...
