What error message(s) does memdisk output (if any)? Also, what command are you using in isolinux to launch? it should read something similar to this:
Code: Select all
LABEL -
MENU LABEL <PROGRAM NAME>
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=/ubcd/images/<IMAGE NAME>

Same thing. Below are the screen grabs shortly before it crashes:
I've also tested using isolinux 3.70 (same result). I extracted the image and was able to run the diagnostic tool from within freedos, although i'm not sure if this would affect the accuracy of any of the tests in question (e.g. memory).
I have a few more ideas I need to test out...

Okay, I've tried a number of different methods and nothing I've tested so far appear to remedy the problem; the image uses some form of proprietary boot sector(?) that I don't recognise. However, the fact that the binary works fine in FDOS would lead me to believe a solution using a stand-alone FDOS bootdisk would be my best advice (the default screen scrollback TSR included in NWDSK causes problems).
I'll have a dig around for a suitable boot disk and upload shortly (all you need do is populate the image with the corresponding program files and slipstream the ISO).

I tried this with no result.
Code: Select all
LABEL -
MENU LABEL Quick Tech Pro
TEXT HELP
Test K/b etc..
ENDTEXT
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=/ubcd/custom/qtp.ima
There is no error message just a blank screen with flashing cursor

Download:
NEW IMAGE
Problem solved. I created a stripped-down boot floppy you can use to slipstream into UBCD. Simply download the new image and inject the Quicktech program files in the following directory:
The contents should then contain:
Code: Select all

Are you behind a firewall? I checked the link and it seems fine.

Issue resolved.
It seems the boot disk experiences problems when running in Virtual PC. It does, however, work fine under VMware as well as a real PC environment.
