Im a beginner and it was my first time I encounter the word "ubcd", and our instructor told us to make a "ultimate boot cd". I've seen the tools of a ubcd, but i dont have any idea in creating ubcd and put it in a blank cd as a bootable. Pls help me on my problem...Please..

Just extract the 7z or exe file so you get an ISO file, and burn it as an image.
If you're unsure of how to do it, use IMGBurn, it won't let you do it the bad way.

It's not correct.
The ISO file is already bootable but itself ; as I said you should burn it as an image, not try anything else.

“ubcd.ico” is just an icon. What you need is “ubcdxxx.iso” where “xxx” stands for version, latest one is “ubcd411.iso”. You probably downloaded ZIP or EXE file, which must be extracted resulting in an ISO file (ubcd411.iso), size must be approximately 115MB. I hope you can find it on your hard disk.
I’m using Roxio Creator Basic v9 en just double-click on “ubcd411.iso” in my folder where I saved it. Roxio starts automatically and with another click you can start burning image of Ultimate Boot CD (ubcd411.iso) on the CD.
Otherwise, from Roxio: file/new/copy/burn an image, you must select the location of your “ubcd411.iso” and there you go.

UBCD 4.1.1 is the DOS version that you want I believe. It should be an ISO.

The UBCD4Win is currently at version 3.1.1 and is a Windows PE environment that must be built using your XP source files.

The method you stated should be fine - "still using ROXIO, under file, it has record CD from CD image. I selected tha and followed thru with the selection of the iso file from my C: drive."

Not sure why it's not booting your laptop.. Do you have any other systems that you can test it in?
