That did the trick (went from 256Mb>512Mb). Hungry beast, don't you think? DSL works with ~64Mb. Is there any particular reason why PM needs so much memory?

VMWare Workstation 6 tried this: KERNEL /pmagic/bzImage APPEND noapic noeject initrd=/pmagic/initrd root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc keymap=us livecd vga=791 sleep=0 quiet ramdisk_size=25000 F&£"* all (-: gets past the loading bar (decompressing rootfiles) before displaying a blank screen. then...

i suspect it to be a problem with the a XMS memory manager (himemx). i've heard a similar report from another user.

please upgrade to R1.2 if you can. this should hopefully remedy the problem.

let me know if it doesn't.

what error message(s) do you get?

ok, do you have access to a floppy disk on your system? if so, then try copying the files from the link i provided (unzip and stick on disk). you should then be able to access chkdskg from the B: drive once you finish booting into freedos. you may have to try using a USB stick if the above method fa...

interesting...what boot modes were you using? I noticed in your picture you were using defensive mode(?). Did the same problem occur in any of the other modes (UMBPCI, EMM386) ??? I'm not sure whether there's a problem with your memory (unlikely) or whether there exists some compatibility issue with...

nice. i'll see if it works under VMworkstation.

(-:

you could use parted magic(?) to access the partition from within linux. i've used DSL linux to access/modify NTFS volumes in the past. To my knowledge, DOS based NTFS drivers are hit and miss, but you could try using NTFS4DOS (read/write ability). However, even if you were to delete the suspect fil...

nice work.

hope this one works. i never could get the previous release to run under VMware.

You probably mean /images/ for v4.1.1 and /ubcd/images/ for v5.xx :) . heh, actually no. Rev1.2 is joint-compatible with 4.1.1 and 5.xx (i.e. single distribution). I will look at it later, I almost finished the upgrade of cpustress image. i'd appreciate it, icecube. anything you could come up with ...

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1422 ok, i plan to update the page (linked above) pretty frequently. to aid users affect a trouble-free update, i was wondering if someone could possibly supply a working script to do the following: 1) explode the target UBCD .iso (should auto-det...

Thanks for your answer, but I guess I'm still stucked in something, because once I run NTFS4DOS Personal, I get a screen with the message "No label specified for GOTO" and then the prompt "A:" I can't see any options to select from. This is as far as I get... Thanks again, any h...

I am having just the same problem, tried to run chkdsk in. Safe mode but I need admin privileges and I'm not sure on how to run it from NTFS4DOS. I tried to , but couldn't change dir from a: nor run chkdsk from there. Can you help me please? Alex NTFS4DOS is your best bet (it calls chkdsk from your...

not sure why, but i remember trying something similar and it doing exactly the same as grayfox described. here's the culprit: :_testdrv shift shift if not "%cddrv%"=="" goto _eof if "%1"=="" goto _eof if "%1"==":" goto _eof call drd.bat %1 ...

if the problem persists, you should consider using memtest86.

doesn't windows dump the BSOD to a file? if you could access the drive and search for it (can't remember the location - google it), you should be able to see what xp is complaining about. if you type "NTFS" at the command prompt on UBCD4.11/5.xx, you should then be able to access the log f...

i should have said type "mi" at the command prompt. still, it does appear as if a cd-rom driver of some description has successfully installed (T:) so, may i ask if this problem also occurs with the supplied applications included in the original (unmodified) version of UBCD5.0b4? what i me...

firstly, the programs you're running would need to support some form of parameters that support scripting events. e.g. :: START SCRIPT :: call app1.bat call app2.bat ... and so on. each bat file would contain parameters and commands supported by the respective application. at the end of each call fu...

by default, the cd drive (cddrv) should default to drive letter T. does the cd-rom initialise properly during the boot-cycle? you should see something like this echoed on screen: CDROM going resident SHSUCDX [some parameters] T: [drive name] have you tried running the boot-mode in manaul (non-silent...
