Ultimate Boot CD

Have already read the recent announcement of the UBCD Live V0.2.2b available for download at https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14828 and at https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ubcdlive.html . The latter site listed here specifically states UBCD Live can be written to a USB mem...

FWIW, It turns out that Spalmore's suggestions at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=198 still entirely apply for UBCD 5.1.1 and SystemRescueCd x86 2.7.0 IMHO, a bit disorganized by dumping some of the major rescuecd folders and files in the "root" folder (c:\ubcd...

(note to self: CONTINUE to copy all editable material to a simple editable textfile before posting-ability times out!) Am attempting to install slitaz and SystemRescueCd liveCDs onto a USB drive already booting from UBCD 5.1.1 . These Linux liveCD distros are SliTaz version 4.0 and SystemRescueCd v...

If someone wants to replace Trinux with INSERT 1.3.9 http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html in UBCD v 4.1.1 what should one do?? Have already reviewed - Charles Appel's four-year-old 'Welcome to UBCD Insert' at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/insert/start.html - The thread 'How to update INSERT?...

Thanks to Icecube's (and others') pointers :) I can successfully create and use .igz files for booting in UBCD411..... thank you :!: A lingering question from this last post is using multi-image bootdisks as either a set of .img files or else one .igz :?: Edited my c:\ubcd-extract file for remasteri...

It should work with Parted Magic 3.0 if you are interested in UBCD + Parted Magic 3.0, download UBCD5 (beta 5). UBCD5 will have included Parted Magic by default. :arrow: Just as a a reminder, please recall from previous posts and from the Parted Magic main site http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMag...

Possible contents of a c:\ubcd-extract\finnix\isolinux.cfg file for finnix vesamenu.c32 file in both the c:\ubcd-extract\isolinux and c:\ubcd-extract\syslinux directories (along with menu.c32) DEFAULT /finnix/linux PROMPT 0 TIMEOUT 600 F1 /finnix/f1 MENU BACKGROUND /finnix/splash.png MENU TITLE Finn...

I see from the bottom of http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=963 that HDDErase just came out with release 4.0. The main website of the HDDErase maintainers is http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/SecureErase.shtml and the contact info on that site might help you with v3.1 as well. Jus...

What are the contents of the c:\ubcd-extract\menus\bootdsks3.cfg file? Sure thing. Contents of current c:\ubcd-extract\menus\ bootdsk3.cfg : MENU INCLUDE /menus/defaults.cfg LABEL back MENU LABEL ..Back one level KERNEL menu.c32 APPEND /menus/bootdsk.cfg LABEL baslin35 MENU LABEL Basic Linux 3.50 K...

Am using SystemRescueCD as this is written, using Icecube's 'Tutorial for systemrescue 0.4.1' instructions in the UBCD thread 'HOWTO: Integrate System Rescue CD/Partimage into UBCD ' found at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=901&highlight=system+rescue Info at Finnix is at ht...

1. Wonder what the best way would be to go about adding another c:\ubcd-extract\menus\.*.cfg file besides the ones already present plus the overflow c:\ubcd-extract\custom\custom.cfg :?: :?: A nice feature to have. Already tried creating a c:\ubcd-extract\menus\bootdsks3.cfg and putting inside this ...

@darelphilip Thanks for the above. Of concern is trying to use the Startup Menu and CheatCodes when Slax v6.0.7 starts up using the Ultimate Boot CD. The contents of the Slax-6.0.7 ISO are: /slax/boot/dos /slax/boot/isolinux /slax/boot/syslinux /slax/boot/bootinst.bat /slax/boot/bootinst.sh /slax/bo...

@Icecube, Thanks for your speedy response with the above details of incorporating DeLi 0.8.0 into UBCD411 :) I note that the bottom bolded section with the updates to isolinux and syslinux are the exact same instructions as for the other distros (e.g., DSL) requiring your CONFIG recommendations in d...

@beerman Secure Erase v4.0 looks great! Already reviewed the more detailed info on this via the Secure Erase CMRR Protocols PDF, http://cmrr.ucsd.edu/people/Hughes/CmrrSecureEraseProtocols.pdf A recollection of sorts on Peter Guttman's original paper 'Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-...

:idea: How easy would it be to replace the Basic Linux and tomsrtbt Linux boots in UBCD411 with DeLi Linux ?? Its main website is http://www.delilinux.org/ and a DeLi 0.8 core ISO - console is 60 MB. That's larger than Damn Small Linux, but just about the size of the alternate Puppy Linux, so DeLi w...

Apparently for Debian GNU/Linux and for some Debian-based Linux distros, the commands 'genisoimage' and 'wodim' are the cdrkit forkoffs of above respective 'mkisofs' and 'cdrecord' commands. From the cdrkit Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdrkit genisoimage stands for gen erate ISO image wodi...

For Linux too! :idea: There are excellent CD-burning utilities for the Linux GUI; X-Windows : xcdroast, http://www.xcdroast.org/ k3b in KDE, http://freshmeat.net/projects/k3b gnomebaker in GNOME, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnomebaker brasero in GNOME, http://www.gnome.org/projects/brasero/ Eve...

@Anarki99 and as702 One can also test out one or more of the rescue-type ISO images at http://www.allbootdisks.com/ As recommended above, I'd definitely steer clear of the Windows Millenium Edition boot ISO and OS. Windows 98 and Windows 2000 are clearly your best bets both for bootable rescue-type ...

If I didn't remember wrongly, the MS-DOS version of NwDsk was never included with UBCD, but can be downloaded from Erwin's website. You guess it, it was due to possible licensing issues. Seems that there are a number of MS boot disk images/ISO's over at http://www.allbootdisks.com One IMMENSELY use...

I want to be able to boot ISO images (such as Acronis true image, disk director, partedmagic etc..) straight from Ultimate Boot CD.. I know they can be done if you do some modifications and not use actual ISO images, but i would like to be able to just simply boot the ISO image. In Linux, one can a...
