Re: find file data integrity errors,"flow chart" for disk re

Well, you are not performing any kind of (low-level) formatting, but wiping. Depending on the tool used, the speed might vary a lot. Depending on the algorithm, the speed might vary a lot. Some wiping tools might, in some cases, help with "bad sectors". FWIW, the simpler algorithm (one pas...

Re: find file data integrity errors,"flow chart" for disk re

1_ A so-called "decompression bomb" in Avast doesn't mean the file is corrupted. 2_ "Low level" format is a procedure that used to be available in computers and HDDs around two decades ago, not in current hardware. I doubt you are referring to such procedure. Expecting whichever ...

Re: Parted magic doesn't work!

I don't understand why users assume this is a problem with UBCD, or originated in pmagic. If this were to be the case, many users would had complain already. It is in fact related to how the USB drive is partitioned and/or formatted and/or how UBCD was transferred to the USB drive. This type of prob...

Re: Mouse driver Hitachi HDD diag

I don't understand what's the issue here. Either the program can potentially use mouse, or it cannot. If it cannot use mouse, then the DOS mouse driver could be skipped altogether (i.e. not to load it). If it can potentially use mouse, then the DOS mouse driver should be loaded. And, if the mouse dr...

Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

Hi Victor , Thank you for the new release. Since we are already talking about the next Debian (which will use systemd)... SpaceFM is not going to receive any additional features. If there is some serious bug report, then it _might_, _perhaps_, be fixed at some point. So, although I like SpaceFM and ...

Re: UBCD V5.3.2 available for download

Around the time the UBCD 5.3.2 version was released, the website was down for several hours. During this time, some popular software repositories were already distributing a "new" UBCD532.iso. That ISO image is not the one currently available in the official download page. Unfortunately, t...

Re: Is it possible to host the latest EXPLODED ISO of UBCD?

@ady: xdelta does not directly address the issue of updating the USB memory stick directly. As I said, I only mentioned it because it was used in past versions. I also said it was not a good solution in this case. @ady: Again, don't see how a torrent of an expanded UBCD ISO will help directly with ...

Re: Is it possible to host the latest EXPLODED ISO of UBCD?

If any new scripts that do delete files are added, a disclaimer or Warning! could be added to the download locations or even put into the script before starting any process. I can understand why you may not be comfortable with it. The problem is less relevant for users that actually *read* (althoug...

The path for LINUX users is " ./ubcd/tools/linux/antivirus " starting in the directory where you expanded the content of UBCD. Under that directory, there are scripts to update the antivirus definitions included in UBCD. Any other script / tool / whatever to update and use the antivirus, i...

Re: Is it possible to host the latest EXPLODED ISO of UBCD?

Generally speaking (and FWIW), I am not "comfortable" with distributing scripts to delete / replace files. The risk of deleting some (part of a) customized version is always there. @ Victor , For future versions, perhaps you might want to consider providing xdelta downloads in addition to ...

_ In the torrent for v.5.3.1, the torrent's comment mentions V.5.3.0. Of course this is not critical; I mention it just for reference (in case someone might confuse the torrent or might doubt whether the torrent is the official one) so to avoid this quirk in the future. It seems your manual TODO lis...

It might had been originated from WDC's support, but there is no way to download an official public version with relevant documentation....

I want to point out that at the moment HWINFO for DOS v5.5.5 was only posted for testing.
