Could you try decompressing the image and run that instead?

Code: Select all

cd images
ren dban.igz dban.img.gz
gzip -d dban.img.gz
Edit hdd.scn and change:

Code: Select all

if ($lastKey == key[f2]); then memdisk /images/dban.img
Rebuild UBCD.

I am completely new to UBCD and experiencing the same problem. Could someone please explain, in the simplest terms if possible, the process of editing the appropriate files and rebuilding the UBCD iso.

I have decompressed the iso but I can't seem to find the dban.igz file in the images folder. Has it been renamed since the last post was made? Where is the hdd.scn and can I edit it with a text editor?

I have a HP Pavilion with a corrupted 2 partition HD, 5GB FAT32 for the recovery and 75GB NTFS for the OS. I've tried other wipe programs and boot utilities such a BART but UBDC is the only one that will even boot the drive. Any help you could give would be great.

Have you taken a look at the customization page?

Thanks for the reply Victor. I have had a look at the customization page and I understand how to rebuild the ubcd iso but not how to edit the file hdd.scn you mentioned. Could you please give me a walkthrough? :oops:

Just use any regular text editor (even Notepad!!) to edit hdd.scn, then rebuild the ISO image.

If you are unclear about the syntax, check out the syslinux website.
