I hope this is not a question which has come up for thousand times, but ..
can I also make a UBCD for Windows98SE? As far as I understood the instructions are for WinXP. |

Hi ldej24 If your asking can you use the a Win98 SE Setup CD to make the ubcd4win, I'm afraid you can't. To make this CD you need a WinXP installation CD with SP1/SP2 integrated into it or Win 2003. http://www.ubcd4win.com/howto.htm
QUOTE
Windows XP CD, with at least Service Pack 1 This is a requirement for Bart's PEŠ. If your XP CD does not include SP1/SP2 (which some/most don't) you have to slipstream SP1/SP2 to your XP CD If your question is can I build ubcd4win on win98 SE yes you can but it appears to be a hit and miss process as to whether it successfully builds a working ubcd4win. If you haven't got a WinXP CD and you need a rescue CD I would suggest using the original Ultimate BootCD here which doesn't require any building at all as it's a complete ISO and has all the tools you'll ever need to rescue Win98. --------------------

Thanks.
Did I got confused by what I read on the Ultimate Boot CD site? " For those of you interested in a Windows version of the Ultimate Boot CD, you might want to check out this project initiated by Ben Burrows. " |

Yes and no  Perhaps it might offer more clarity if it said a windows version based on WinXP. How it's phrased may mislead people into thinking any windows cd can build this project when it's only a WinXP SP1 or higher. --------------------

I see. So you suggest that I should download the UBCD.
Thanks very much for your advice. |

I'm afraid if you only have a copy of Win98 SE then I'm afraid the original ubcd is your only option, unless you want to upgrade to XP.

Yes, as stidyup said, you must use a XP CD to BUILD the CD but after you build it, you can USE the CD on just about any system. Otherwise, the UBCD is your only option. On a side note, why are you still on Win 98? XP is a HUGE upgrade and WAY better. --------------------  "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein "Microsoft Windows: A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating system originally coded for a four-bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition." - Unknown Author My Specs: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum | AMD Athlon FX-53 2.4Ghz | 2GB PC3200 Corsair XMS C2 2-3-3-6 | 2x 74GB WD Raptor in RAID 0 | Maxtor 120GB | External Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB | ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB 500/500 | NEC ND-3250A DVDR | TDK 440N DVDR | LG GSA-2166D Lightscribe External DVDR | SB X-Fi | XP Pro SP2 | Logitech MX1000 Laser | ViewSonic VX924 3ms |

On a side note, why are you still on Win 98? XP is a HUGE upgrade and WAY better. Last things first: I had a duable boot for some time, but stopped using XP. Reasons: 1. esthetics, 2. used to Win98, 3. I could not figure out how to fiddle around in MS-DOS under XP, and I have still some nice good old MS-DOS programmes. More serious: I have made the download, and unzipped. So I have the .ISO file. Now I think I have to burn a bootable Win98SE disk. Correct? How do I do this? And then, just write the ISO-file on the CD? Sorry if I raised some of your hairs because of still living in the past. |

Ok, I'm going to assume you're refering to the Original Ultimate Boot CD (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com). If that is the case you just need to burn the ISO to a CD. Nero is recommended around here.
The Ultimate Boot CD is bootable, so after you burn the ISO to a CD you should just have to put the CD in and boot. Please check out here for more information on this CD. |

A quick solution to burning the ISO is to download small cd writer from here Extract the zip file, run smallcd writer. Disc Record ISO image You will then have a bootable cd. If you can see a *.iso file on the CD you've done it wrong, you should see a complete folder structure. --------------------

Yes, just burn the ISO (CD image) to a CD. In Nero, it would be Recorder -> Burn Image... -------------------- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein "Microsoft Windows: A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating system originally coded for a four-bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition." - Unknown Author My Specs: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum | AMD Athlon FX-53 2.4Ghz | 2GB PC3200 Corsair XMS C2 2-3-3-6 | 2x 74GB WD Raptor in RAID 0 | Maxtor 120GB | External Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB | ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB 500/500 | NEC ND-3250A DVDR | TDK 440N DVDR | LG GSA-2166D Lightscribe External DVDR | SB X-Fi | XP Pro SP2 | Logitech MX1000 Laser | ViewSonic VX924 3ms |

Most gratefull!! I will try it later tonight and will feedback to you. Very sorry, but I did not succeed in making a bootable CD. I have now a CD with the various folders and the files autorun, ubcd and boot.catalog. When I start the computer, after having set in the BIOS start from CD-ROM, I get the message, Searching for bootrecord from CD-ROM: not found. Any idea what went wrong/I did wrong? |

Try booting the CD from a floppy. See FAQ5 and download the boot floppy and see if this works for you, on many occasions I've managed to get a PC to boot from CD with this tool. It could be that the CD you have burnt is corrupt. --------------------
