my UBCDv4.0 Iso has files missing - I'm desperate!
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 4:29 pm
I have a new HP dual-core PC with Win Media Center as the O/S. I partitioned the 1st hard drive using Partition Magic 8, intending to create a dual-boot system with XP Home as the 2nd O/S. As a final stage in this process, I used PM8 to render the main O/S partition 'Hidden' and the new empty Primary Partition as 'Active', believing that when I re-booted the PC with the XP Home CD already in, I would be able to install it form the bootable CD. It began to load, then failed. Subsequently, every time I boot up I am met with the message 'NTLDR is missing'. Presumably, this has come about because the new partition I created is not bootable, so the XP Home CD cannot 'see' it? Anyway, I have no floppy drive on this PC. I tried booting with the PM8 Disc, which goes into some form of DOS but I can only get the 'DIR' of what I imagine is the first of two rescue discs, and not the bit which contains the DOS version of PM8.
I have downloaded UBCB, extracted the ISO and followed the instructions for burning and merging the two PM8 rescue floppies into a single .img file. But the tutorial then refers to changes which need to be made to "boot/menus/custom.scn" and I do not have this. My 'Boot' folder is empty except for 10 small files, none of which is a .scn file. There are no other sub-folders in this 'Boot' folder. Please help! I am desperate to find a way to unhide my main Partition so I can boot into Windows again, and your UBCD is the most likely solution I have come across so far. Do you have any idea why these files may be missing? I have downloaded UBCD from 3 different sources and they are all the same. Cheers.
