Re: ubcd4 - hdd diagnostic results. now what ?

Did you check the MD5 of the ISO you downloaded?

Are you booting from a CD or USB?

You can try another Live CD/DVD or USB to copy over files.

Re: ubcd4 - hdd diagnostic results. now what ?

You can use GParted which is included in PMagic to re-partition the drive. There are several formatting utilities in UBCD but I usually use the OS I'm installing to do that. The recovery DVD will format and possibly partition the drive. If your system had a recovery partition it should re-create tha...

Re: ubcd4 - hdd diagnostic results. now what ?

DFT is on the UBCD 4.11, after googleing UBCD 4.11, which is the version I have, I found that the DFT on this version is 4.09. Be advised that is what I ran to get the results in my first post. Are suggesting that I download,burn and run the latest UBCD version and DFT ? I do usually run the latest...

Re: ubcd4 - hdd diagnostic results. now what ?

DFT (Drive Fitness Test) 4.16 is included in the latest UBCD but not sure which version is on the UBCD ISO you downloaded (UBCD4?) but it should be there AFAIK. I would run DFT and try that before using anything else.

Re: ubcd4 - hdd diagnostic results. now what ?

First thing I would suggest is to check all your connections, inside and out. Especially the drive connectors. During cleaning, if you were moving any wires around it is pretty easy to slightly dislodge the cables. After that if no improvement, I would probably boot to a live CD (PartedMagic include...

Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

I let it run for a while but never connected to the seeds. uTorrent was showing 2 then 1 seed but never connected to either and was showing 7 then 11 peers but only connected to 1 who showed as having 1% for over an hour.

Re: What do I do after auto-nuking my hard drive?

What is your PC manufacturer and model? Did it have a recovery partition and/or do you have media (CD/DVD)? What wiping program/tool did you use? Many manufacturers don't provide media any more and will instead have a recovery partition that you would boot to and restore the system to factory settin...

Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

I've always liked having a small distro included that could be used to back up files before running tests and especially for the ability to access the web from an infected PC. That can all be done with a separate distro on the same flash drive (YUMI has worked well for me...) @StopSpazzing - You men...

Re: Access Denied when creating bootable USB stick

Format complete.
237.8 MB total disk space.
237.8 MB are available.
You sure that's not a 256MB flash drive?

Re: Unable to add PC-Check to UBCD

It can be difficult to help when the program/tool is not freeware. It would help to know what you tried to do, the steps you used to add it to UBCD such as files added along with location and any config file edits that you made. What exactly happens when you try to boot the PC-Check ISO?

Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

If the main goal is to have easy access to NTFS volumes, I don't think a big Linux distro is the best choice. First, the latest version of pmagic that was already included in UBCD could still be used in future UBCD releases. There is no reason to rush any such change. .......... If such distro can ...

Re: UBCD V5.2.6 is available for download

You could go back to using System Rescue CD, its running about 420MB for the ISO so the size is pretty close to PartedMagic. I don't do much with Linux as far as building/programming but would be nice to keep at least something included for recovery and such. TinyCore or CorePlus looks like it may b...

Re: [Request] Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10

At 317MB, that's a very large increase in the size of the disc. It wouldn't be a problem if using a DVD or USB drive but definitely would no longer fit on a CD. You could try adding it to UBCD yourself or adding to a multiboot USB or similar. I use it (Kav_rescue) on a multiboot USB drive which I cr...
