Ultimate Boot CD

I'm having alot of trouble understanding how to use the UBCD , I burn't a CD ( i did it correctly ) , Restarted my computer and it booted up , I get a prompt like this:

A:\ > <= ( i hope i typed that right )

Wich i assume is correct , Also a short list of possible commands is displayed , Like this:

\MLX

\LEND=ON

and so forth , I've tried everything i can think of to get it to do "something" but all i get is:

"Invald Command" or "Command Not Found"

How do you get the UBCD to start up...??? I've tried about a dozen different commands but i still get nothing..

If you open the CD inside of Windows, do you see a bunch of files and folders or just a single file? If a bunch of files and folders then something got modified or something. If a single files, then you burned the iso file to the disk and not the iso contents. That is a common mistake...

Ok , I see a single file marked as ubcd.iso ( or something like that ) , But see here's the thing.

I did burn the disk as a "CD Image" and "not" as a data CD.. If the problem i'm having is the single file ( .iso ) being the only thing on the disk then why does it boot up...???

Huh are you sure you didn't let a floppy in the drive ?

Anyway, seems like something went wrong with your burning...

No.? , No floppy in the drive..?

And i burnt at 8x speed..

How is the UBCD supposed to start up .? , I mean , What should i have expected..?

Well you should have seen almost instantly the menu of which you showed us the screenshot.

BTW Victor, I have nicer and lighter screenshots if you wish to replace that one from the main page... here at original 640x400 size, and here resized down to 500x313, if you really need it to be less large...

.

Well what's ( if any ) the start up command..?? , Is there anything i could try i mean...?

EDIT--- Also , Why do the commands listed in the menu i saw ( see my first post ) not work..? The \LEND=ON and \MLX one's...

Thanks...

No idea what those commands are... I also have no idea what those commands are. As for there being only one file on the disk, you burned the iso to the disk. You need to have your burning software open the iso as a project and have it burn the contents. As an easier version of a burning app, I highly recommend using a program called IMGBurn. It only burns iso's and other image files and does not allow you to get confused over a data disk or not.

Not much diff compared to my full-sized screenshot, isn't it? Except the screen font is slightly different, so mine is wider than yours.

No ..! , I burned the ISO as a "Bootable CD Image" using Nero.., I opened the ISO with Nero and did start a new project with it..

I don't understand why the commands are listed then..? , If they're useless to me..

Hmm didn't see it... anyway the resized one is quite ugly with all those dots appearing from God only knows where :/
(And PNG file is smaller than GIF ;o )

Jason,

Forget Nero and forget what you have done so far... Just forget it. Go to http://www.imgburn.com/ and download and install IMGBurn. Run IMGBurn and select the UBCD.iso you have. Burn the disk.

Follow those directions and I guarantee that it will work. How you are getting that other stuff is a complete mystery as here is what is supposed to be on the CD when you burn it...

Folders...

Boot
Docs
dosapps
freesco
images
isolinux
licenses
tools
ubcd

Files

autorun.inf
boot.catalog
mkubcd.bat
mkubcd.sh
ubcd.ico

If you see anything but that above plus or minus a few things then you did not burn correctly.

I'll give it a shot...
