Hi,

Has anyone had any success adding Memtest86+ v2.01 or PartedMagic v3.2 to the UBCD for Windows boot menu?

This would appear in the text menn before booting UBCD itself.

Memtest86+ is part of UBCD for DOS so that is one way to get to it now, and PartedMagic will be part of the next release of UBCD for DOS but for now it would be nice to add them to the UBCD for Windows boot menu to speed things up a bit.

Kind Regards

Simon

you should probably read the list of tools before you post asking for a program. Memtest86+ is included in the Multiboot menu.

you can create a plugin for parted magic by following the instructions here
good luck!

Well the only bad thing with that advice, my lack of updating the page.

I've honestly put it off for the past few releases so the page really isn't up to date. I'll try to get it updated throughout the week, this week should be good because we aren't that busy right now and Tracy is back from all his funerals.

Memtest86+ v2.01

There is Memtest86+ V2.10 (15/11/2008) too.
Replace file UBCD4Win\plugin\Multiboot-003\memtest86\memtest.img.
Use 1.44kb floppy image.

I have been working with UBCD4Win for several years now and use it daily as part of my job.
The tools on it & that I have added to it save me tons of time.
So far from trolling the many forums that are available I have been able to get all the tools
I use to work on both DVD & USB versions of the UBCD4Win.
Only the most recent versions of PartedMagic 3.0 - 3.2 I have not been able to get to work.

If anyone is able to get it to work on both a disk (CD or DVD) format & a USB flash drive please post the
entire how to with what lines are in your syslinux.cfg file. I would like to stick with syslinux because I have
all my other boot tools working with it right now & really do not want to change over the 40+ applications I use
to grub4dos if I do not have to. I have tried all the different suggestions I have read in this forum, but so far
none have worked with PartedMagic 3.2.

@DM2K
Try the pmagic-usb-3.2 release for USB hardware.
There is a syslinux.cfg included already, copy and past all label parts.

[DM2K]

Tried that.
It gets most of the way through then gives the following error.

[email protected]:/# splashy caught signal error number. Exiting... splashy caught signal error number. Exiting...

This is a real system not a VM or other emulated environment.

I made the USB version of Parted Magic 3.2 on a separate USB drive following the directions on the Wiki and that works
with no problems. I made sure I was using the newest syslinux as he mention in his forums. Systems I have tried it on all
have over the 300 MB he suggests.

I think that something is missing, but I am unable to determine if it is calling on something that is not there or what.

[DM2K]

Just noticed I missed something in my post.
The correct error is:

[email protected]:/# splashy caught signal error number 6. Exiting... splashy caught signal error number 6. Exiting...

I doubt this changes anything, but there you are.

Try the PXE version. I've had better luck with that since the whole thing is only in a few files.

Cheers

Just tried myself, yes USB version of Parted Magic 3.2 does work at USB hardware with syslinux.

I don't undertand. Do you have a link?
Which USB hardware do you use?
Which partitions and format do you use?

Link in the Parted Magic Forum for Memory amount.

Link for syslinux info.

http://forums.parted...ic.php?f=2&t=23

I am using several 2 Gb SanDisk Cruzer Micros formatted FAT 16x & FAT 32x for my trials so far
as a single partition.

Well after talking to the person who makes Parted Magic (Patrick Verner) in the forums on his site, he was able
make the corrections needed to the syslinux.cfg file to allow the program to work properly.
The addition was simple, but now I am paring out what is not needed & will post what I did shortly
in a new post in this forum. But for right now I can say it works fine with what has been done so far.

Mostly I am putting stuff in this directory structure.
root/syslinux/images/parted/ "everything from the USB version"

Well, relocating files is asking for errors.

As for a first try:
copy USB version root directory to root directory at USB drive.

Or adjust syslinux.cfg as Patrick Verner pointed out:
directory=/syslinux/images/parted/

[DM2K]

As that is from my discussion with him I got it working after moving and redoing my syslinux.cfg file.
Putting everything in root had some conflicts so it was better in the end to have everything moved.
My USB for parted magic 3.2 works fine now. Soon I am going to do my CD/DVD versions up.
I doubt I will have much trouble with that compared to the USB.

Admittedly I am not very good with linux or coding in general, but as I have been using these tools
and configuring them and mostly digging in forums to find answers for a few years now. It is nice
to see that most people are willing to help each other out here.
