Ultimate Boot CD

You cannot boot Iso's. You could use ubcd to boot the OS's you have listed if not all (after extracting the contents). You should define the "bootable" windows xp and vista you are talking about, are they portable versions or the install cd's? If they are portable versions then yes, if the...

You posted another topic. Try to stick to one thread when they are related to the same issue.

Pink dots could be from the fact your computer is extremely old...Try using latest beta of UBCD5.0 and see if the problem is still there.

Boot into safe mode and try a system restore. May fix your problem.

Im guessing your windows cd is scratched or dirty. Gently clean it with soap and water (or isopropyl alcohol) and dry it off completely and then try again.

Hi I'm new to this and not very good with computers i have to admit. This all came about when i used this free registry cleaner and i think i deleted something that i shouldn't have.

Hi, Welcome to the forums ed.

Have you tried booting into Parted Magic and seeing if the drive is detected and accessable? That's what I would recommend for you at this point.

You are very welcome!

UBCD actually does not let you login to Windows as far as I know, or at least it's not designed for it. If you want a LiveCD Windows environment to access your computer, you'd better look for UBCD4Win ^^ I was going to suggest that but you have to keep in mind most people do NOT have a windows cd a...

I have converted the UBCD to USB flash and would like to have certain programs and or batch files run on startup of the shell. Obviously, this is different than the process in Windows. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This forum relates to "Ultimate Boot CD". I beli...

After booting onto the cd, there should be options for antivirus/malware tools, off the top of my head forgot what menu it is under. Run each tool one at a time and when they are finished see if you can boot your computer. If you still CANT, then post again and I will walk you through steps of remov...

Assuming I boot off my USB drive everyday and spend 4 hours a day on it, how long wil the flash USB drive become unreadable? ...
