bcdw replacement

I have a number of larger images (4MB, 6MB) that I used bcdw to boot these images before, but fail with memdisk.

Is there a bcdw replacement? or options with memdisk?

Thanks

I would also like to see this re-added as I have a handful of images that work best with it. From looking at the differences between 3.4.4 and 4.01 I'm not fully sure where the bcdw file should go.

I have not been able to find the linux bcdw file.

I don't believe bcdw.com will work

I would like to have bcdw as well, plus diskemu!

bcdw and diskemu are cdshell modules. Don't think there is a way to make them work under syslinux/isolinux.

Of course, if anyone knows how, I am all ears!

To those linux experts out there, and ubcd4win experts please tell us how to use bcdw or isolinux to help solve our problem in ubcd!

I was able to boot my 4.32mb image files but from ubcd4win. It uses isolinux. I was also able to add ubcd to the ubcd4win cd, and then my larger boot disks to the plugin z-custom folder. Here is a link to the thread, look for my summary at the end:

UBCD V4.0 beta 1 showtopic=7770

To add the larger images to UBCD4WIN:
edit \plugin\Multiboot-003\z_custom\custom_bcdw.ini:

Code: Select all

; my changes here
;
\images\barts6.ima		; Barts6 Multi-nic, SSH, large,  (4.32MB)
...

then add the image(s) to the directory \plugin\Multiboot-003\z_custom\images\

There is another later ubcd4win thread that can use the ubcd411.iso to update:
UBCD (aka UBCD4DOS) update for v4.1.1+ showtopic=8413
