    hi,

    i'm trying to fix my XP-System with Ultimate Boot XP from CD

    actually i'm trying to save my data on an external harddrive but it doesn't work...

    when i plug it on the usb port after booting UBXP nothing happens, when i'm trying "force install USB" or "install devices" system is freezed and i have to reboot...same happens when i plug it on the usb port before booting with UBXP...

      Did the external usb drive work on a real system ?
      What format did the drive have ? NTFS, FAT32 ?
      Did you put it direct to your motherboard, or do you use a usb-hub ?

        Best to plug it in before you boot the CD.

            that is very strange ! if you plug it in before booting direct to a usb port,
            it normaly must work !
            What version of ubcd4win did you use?
            What source did you use for building?
            Can you give more information about the external usb-drive?
            Can you make another test with a usb-stick ?

                Try again with version 3.12 !
                HD-500GB with FAT32 ?
                What is your external usb case ? manufacturer / modell !

                    Hey,

                    just for information: it WORKS!!!

                    what i did?

                    1. i build a UBCD4WIN with the newest version

                    2. i created a folder on the empty hdd just give the software something to read on this drive

                    3. while booting the hdd wasn't found by the software but after starting "install devices" and "force usb" ...it finally works

                    well, i've got to say thank you for your help and for this incredible little tool!!! clapping.gif
