Ultimate Boot CD

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:39 pm**

Hi,

I was trying to make a USB stick bootable by using the command:

ubcd2usb D:\ubcd T:

T was the USB drive in question. However, I kept getting the error:

(ERROR) 'makebootfat.exe' failed

The solution was to also use the optional parameter to specify the actual drive number HD7. The reason probably was that I have multiple USB drives at HD3-HD6, which contain no media and are from a multiformat flash card reader. So in my case, this worked:

ubcd2usb D:\ubcd T: -D 7

Hi,

I just tried but the solution isn't working...

I did manage to get the bat file to start after chdir and multiple case checking...

But now it says :

Code: Select all

UBCD2USB: Launching 'makebootfat' to format USB drive
Please insert ONLY ONE usb disk.

(ERROR) 'makebootfat.exe' failed

I guess this is because of my USB stick which is a strange one. It appears as a normal usb stick PLUS a CDROM drive ... ?
Do you know how to get rid of that damn "fake" drive ?

Also I tried to use a SD-CARD but same error either on an external card reader or with the embeded one...

Last try, with a USB stick (Sony) perfectly healthy, still the same error either with or without the "/D num" parameter...

Thank you for your answers !

got my answer, you have to disable/unplug/hide any other USB mass storage device if you want the ubcd bat file to work
