Ultimate Boot CD

Okay, I've tried a number of different methods and nothing I've tested so far appear to remedy the problem; the image uses some form of proprietary boot sector(?) that I don't recognise. However, the fact that the binary works fine in FDOS would lead me to believe a solution using a stand-alone FDOS...

Same thing. Below are the screen grabs shortly before it crashes: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/2735242431_328122fc8f_o.gif http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3290/2735242357_88aeac5421_o.gif I've also tested using isolinux 3.70 (same result). I extracted the image and was able to run the diagnost...

check you pm

now with the new ubcd memdisk won't load the image just freezes. What error message(s) does memdisk output (if any)? Also, what command are you using in isolinux to launch? it should read something similar to this: LABEL - MENU LABEL <PROGRAM NAME> KERNEL memdisk APPEND initrd=/ubcd/images/<IMAGE N...

Unless I'm very much mistaken, Winimage CLI doesn't support a bootable switch (odd). You need to use this: http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ MKBT It supports transferring a bootsector to floppy images. This allows you to create a bootable 2.88MB floppy image without needing a 2.88MB floppy drive. Usage: mkbt ...

thanks. i'll give it s shot.

have you tried DFSee 9.10? although an evalutaion version, it is fully functional and incredibly powerful at repairing these type of problems.

Probably, Patrick is uploading a new version. Or it can be that there are problems with his hosting provider. If I go to the forums sometimes, I don't always get the page correctly. Sometimes it offers to download an save the file ( some .php fiel), which is empty. not sure. i get a proper "In...

i tried downloading both iso versions, but they were reported as corrupt (unexpected end of archive).

Updated to 1.21 (see change log for details)

i'll try it later this evening and post the results (i'll also get that bcdw2.01a disc sent to you as promised yesterday).

No worries. However, I would strongly advise against using Vista as a Live CD (XP is more than sufficient, not to mention, smaller by comparison). Again, UBCD4WIN uses such a set up to achieve what you're looking for.

You're looking to create a live environment using Vista OS from a CD??? Why??? In any case, you might be best querying UBCD4WIN forums:

Victor, If you have time, could you possibly update (and in some cases, correct) the "startup.bat" files to include a more descriptive comment for each dosapp (set APPNAME=)? @echo off set APPNAME=AIDA16 set APPCODE=aida16 set APPEXE=aida.exe call runapp I'm currently working on nwdsk R1.3...

All options, Icecube.

noeject noreplace-paravirt xforcevesa

Yeah, same thing.

I agree, VPC2007 is shaky with Linux VMachines. Some distributions works, others simply fail.

Are you sure you're not referring to UBCD4WIN ?? Wrong forum, mate.

No problem. Alternatively, send me a pm and i'll see what i can do.

Exactly as i quoted, yes. I tried upping the virtual memory for VPC2007 but it failed miserably (it crashes the program).
