How-to request: fit UBCD onto an actual CD

#1 Post by allanonmage » Mon Feb 01, 2010 9:49 am

Hey guys! I'm new to UBCD. I've heard of Bart PE since Maximum PC told me about it years ago, but I've never actually used it before.

Backstory:
My server got infected with Internet Security 2010 yesterday. I can't regain total control over it, and somehow installing avast, avg, and mbam in safe mode has prevented normal mode from working. My goal yesterday was to set up a Bart PE disc with MBAM, let it do its thing and call it a day. I found a forum that went through the MBAM development and how MBAM didn't like Bart PE, nor Joshua's implementation, and eventually that they were doing their own plug-in. Somehow that got me over to UBCD, which seemed pre-made and ready to go (never used Bart PE so I would have preferred to not have to build my own CD)



Meaty portion:
My server doesn't have a DVD drive, doesn't support booting to USB (Dell Poweredge 2500) , and is using a CSI RAID array, so I can't just pulled the drive out to get my data and format c:. How can I make UBCD fit onto one CD? I spent 20 minutes last night deselecting things from the plug-ins and apparently borked it pretty good: now UBCD wont make an ISO. So what plug-ins are a good idea to remove to remove that extra 50 mb of stuff?

On a random note: Why have games on a recovery disc?

I might try the kicker idea:

You are on the wrong forum ==> UBCD (4 DOS).

If you have a floppy drive on your server or you can boot from PXE, you can load PloP Boot Loader, which can boot USB disks when the BIOS doesn't support it.
