Ultimate Boot CD

Does anybody know if the extension of the compressed files are necessary for trouble-free or better work of UBCD (4.xx/5.xx)? It's a non-issue as far as i'm aware of. I recognized that I can use uncompressed images too... You can, yes. Pperhaps the ubcd doesn't like uncompressed images and tries fi...

index.dat contains the entire directory/file structure of our CD. Using this file, I can now dynamically search the relevant application during runtime (i.e. users can place their archives wherever the hell they please). Scanning the cd will take to long. It's a one-off operation. I do concede that...

Just a quick musing... I may decide to handle the detection of the dosapps folder(s) and/or archive(s) dynamically instead of relying on users to declare where they wish to set the relative path of the application in question. For instance, the development version I have running relies on using an I...

check your pm.

I'm not too familiar with diskemu, but is it possible to integrate diskemu with the current UBCD distribution alongside memdisk? I remember people having problems with some disk images not booting under memdisk (e.g. quicktech pro). The idea is allowing users the ability to select between using memd...

For the sake of consistency, it might be wise to rename the current FreeDOS image...

dosubcd.igz => fdubcd.igz

You better report a bug at the cutemouse forum, so they can solve it. Provide enough information. I was about to suggest this. Eric Auer over at the FreeDOS Project is currently handling the development (I've spoken to him on several occasions and he's very good at releasing updates/patches for pro...

I think that you can change the tittle of the menu for I wouldn't (NwDsk R1.28 relies on this information to determine the version number). For the next release this will be adjusted to rely on a separate INI file so you can then do to it as you please. (-: Oh, it doesn't work for me and I think yo...

dosapps/ ==> other directory layout (as702 is working with this, so I am not completely sure that this are the correct names). as702 also suggested to rename dosapps to dos main/ ==> contains ubcd program archives usr/ ==> the "custom" folder for dos applications that the user wants to ad...

Hello, I have been trying to recover some files from my computer using your Restoration program from an earlier version of UBCD, but it hangs after several hours of recovery. So I though I would try the new UBCD 5.0 beta to see if it would help resolve this matter. But the TestDisk, which is the re...

Some good suggestions.

I would like to see /antivir, /dban, /offline inside /ubcd/boot/, but we already discussed this some time ago. as702 an freeballer want this too.

Stick PartedMagic in there while you're at it. q-:

Hello, just to annotate. I think I found a problem with the cutemouse If you integrate "Norton" or "PowerQuest" Partition Magic v8.0 you should test your mouse. The cutemouse version 1.9 (included in freeDOS 1.0) and 2.1b4 (integrated in dosubcd.igz 3.42) doesn't work for me wit...

Update. I now can confirm that the win(xp) drive is mounted as x:\ and can see it using VC. I have negociated throught the directory structure ect.... However when I run the Mcafee scan, it hangs after mem test, there is no indication of any disk i/o, (no sound or flashing disk light). Any ideas ? ...

What are the criteria for placing a program in a certain category? User criteria. The idea is for Victor to hopefully adopt this technique in order to replace the existing method. The names I've shown are arbitrary (I simply wasn't going to type out +50 programs under relevant categories for the sa...

Do you have access to a floppy drive? If so, try this:

Bootable CD Loader v1.50Z

3)Image boot starts (choose option 1 UMBPCI (Optimal)

Have you tried it using EMM386 and/or in ultra defensive mode?

How can I disable the upcoming Menu of UBCD 4.1.1 (5.x.x) at the end of the boot process in _silent_ mode of the dosubcd.igz/fdubcd.img (3.40/3.42) images? And how to set a timeout and/or a default choose (launch/system/help/browse)? I would prefer to have a complete _silent_ boot. I'll implement t...

For UBCD 4.1.1 you can. For version 5b, you have to type "ntfs" at the command prompt (or select by typing "menu" and choosing NTFS).

Okay, following some discussion I've decided to address some concerns regarding automation and manageability for the next update: 1) Banishing those annoying "dosapp" batch files For ubcd4.11, these are currently to be found in: /dosapps/<application name>/startup.bat For ubcd5b... /ubcd/d...
