I've came across the UBCD when my old boot CD with PartitionMagic didn't work on my Dell laptop with external CD drive.
Now I'm trying to add PartitionMagic to the UBCD according to your tutorial. Everything seemed to work like a charm but Partition Magic won't boot. The last lines is:
INT 13 08: Failure, assuming this is the only driveold: int13 = f00084d2 int15 = f000f859
new: int13 = 9e400008 int 15 = 9e400286
Loading boot sector... booting...
Then it stops.

1. How to go about this?
2. By mistake I ran the "mkisofs -N -J -r -o \ubcd.iso -b boot/loader.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 . " commando from my documents and settings directory. It ran through a lot of files but did it harm anything?

Which version of PM are you using?
Nah, don't think so. mkisofs does not delete any file, only creates them.By mistake I ran the "mkisofs -N -J -r -o \ubcd.iso -b boot/loader.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 . " commando from my documents and settings directory. It ran through a lot of files but did it harm anything?

Hi Victor,
I ran into the same problem that je79ayps had, and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for it.
Specifically, I followed the directions at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/pm8.html , and when I boot up, select F5, then F1 to run Partition Magic v8.0, I see the "INT 13 08: Failure" error followed by "Loading boot sector... booting...", and my system just hangs.
Note that my CD-ROM drive is internal; je79ayps's was external.
I will send a copy of my pm8.img 2.88 combined floppy image file to victor at ultimatebootcd dot com
I look forward to your reply and I greatly appreciate your help.

I poked around the image using WinImage, and found that the boot sector has an OEM string of "VFD2.1", where as the boot sector of the original PM8 Rescue Disk #1 has an OEM string of "OPENDOS7".
If you had followed the tutorial and used WinImage to convert PM8 Rescue Disk #1 to 2.88MB (before copying the files in PM8 Rescue Disk #2 over), the OEM string should have been retained.
Do you have any idea why the OEM string has been changed?
