Please someome tell me how to use this. I think I burned it to an ISO file using CDBrurnerXP Pro 3 and booted onto my xp home pc. 'A' prompt comes up and I don't know what to do next. The dir for 'a' says
Volume for a is DOS_boot
Then lists some other stuff, but I can't type anything to start it.
Full Version: How Do I use This
Do you have your BIOS setup to boot from CD? Do you have a floppy disk in your drive when booting? I need a little more information, you post is quite vague. When you boot you say you have an a:\ prompt, that leads me to believe you have a floppy disk in.
I'm sorry for being so vague, I don't know alot about this stuff.
My BIOS is set to boot from CD. No floppy disk in the a drive.

Did you follow the instructions for creating the project and CD from the site? Did you receive any errors while creating the ISO image with Bart's PE? Please let me know what steps you followed for creating the CD. You should not get any types of prompts like that.
No. I used CDBrurnerXP Pro 3 to burn the CD. I will start over using the instructions on the site. Can you give me the link for the instructions, please.
Let us know how everything goes and please post if you need any other assistance or have questions.
I'm using my old pc[win98] to download and burn, because my good pc won't boot up because of a virus, I think. Do I use the CD that came with my [XP] PC to autostream the SP1. I'm sorry, I'm asking so many questions, I'm totally ignorant as to what to do.
Well, XP is actually required to run Bart's PE. You need your XP CD with at least Sp1 included on the CD. Could you find another system to use that is running XP to create the CD?
There's no other pc with XP available. Do you know of another way besides this way to cure my problems. My pc continues to reboot. I get stop messages 'vdnt32.sys' after windows loads. I'm tried everything like repairing with the factory pd. Haven't erased all yet, cus I have things on there I want to keep. Do you know of a free forum or tech help I can go to for help.
Could be one of this family http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojhaxdoorl.html first thing that comes up on google searching for 'vdnt32.sys'.
Can you boot your PC into safe mode?
Press F8 as soon as your PC starts you should then get a menu allowing you to select safemode, if it still won't boot please post more info on above error.
If you can get into safe mode you could try downloading RescueME (see sig) on your good Win98 PC. Run rescueME on the good PC and download one of the virus scanners, then burn the contents of the folder to CD. Copy the contents of the RescueME folder to the hdd with the virus and run whichever scanner you have downloaded from the local folder (don't run it from the cd it won't work).
If you can't get into safe mode, you'll need to download the free NTFS reader from here and use f-prot for dos to remove the virus. Unfortunately I won't be able to give you any further help on how to do as I won't be at work until Wed where I may be able to work out how to combine the two.
If your still stuck try this forum here but they usually like a hijackthis log but you can't supply one as you can't access your system.

won't boot to safe mode so will download free NTFS reader
How do I use f-prot for dos?
Thanks for your help

Not really got time to investigate fully.
Download the free f-prot from here also get the latest defs.
You should be able to create a bootable cd with your win98 setup disk, which will give you access to your CD-rom.
Create a Win98 Setup disk.
Copy the ntfs reader from the created floppy for NTFS Reader.
Put on a CD with F-Prot
Either create a bootable CD with Nero with your win98 floppy this will give you access to your CD-Rom, even though it's booted off it.
Or boot with floppy and load NTFS reader then F-Prot and scan your hdd.
Can't verify if above will work not tested this out yet, use a cd-rw in case it doesn't.
Also try the original ubcd as this will scan ntfs hdd's but I don't think it has write capabilities, which means it can't remove virus's

@Everybody
I'm pretty sure that Kjhyphen was talking about the original UBCD from the very beginning, hence him stating that he downloaded the ISO and then burned it.
@Kjhyphen
You have posted to the wrong section of this forums. These forums are mainly for the Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows, not the original UBCD, though we do try to support that as well. What everyone else was talking about here was the Windows version which includes more work to get it working but can be just as great if not better in solving problems, just like the original UBCD. The UBCD you have and downloaded is just a plain ISO. You should use a CD burning program and make sure to use the option like Burn Image, such as in Nero, you choose (from the menu) Recorder -> Burn Image.... Do NOT burn the ISO as a Data CD as that will not work. You need to burn it by using a function similar to what I just said above. If you did this, then either your download may have been corrupted and you need to re-download the ISO with a download manager or something, or your BIOS is not set to boot from the CD, or you burned the ISO to a CD-RW and your computer is too old to read from CD-RWs. Try burning it to a CD-R and then post the results. Sorry about all of the confusion.
