The initial post in this topic is analagous, in function, to a Wal-Mart greeter. This is not a topic where new users should post an initial request for help. I'm hoping that new builders/users have found this information useful and keeps them from wasting time and getting frustrated as they become familiar with the project. A lot of frustration can be avoided by following the "How to Build" intructions very carefully, referring to FAQ's, pinned topics and searching the forum.
If you are still having problems building manually, please try to understand the process to the best of your ability. Give it your best effort, and then give the
config tool a try. It should help to eliminate most build errors, but I encourage everyone to at least have a basic understanding of the manual "How to Build" instructions.
Try to post your question in the most appropriate forum and provide as much detail as you can. Provide relevant system specs, details of build procedures, and any errors that you may have experienced. Specify wether you have built manually, or have used the config tool. Post any relevant logs: i.e pebuilder.log or ubcd4win.log so that we can help diagnose your particular problem.
It doesn't hurt to add a followup post stating what worked and even, what didn't... a brief summary would suffice. At the very least, a simple "thank you", would be very much appreciated. Most people provide a decent final reply with a "thank you".... just a friendly reminder to some people who tend to leave us hanging.
Understand that everyone involved in this project provides their experience, expertise, knowledge, suggestions and help for free and are happy to do it. But, please be considerate of other people's time. Spend some time trying to figure out your specific problem on your own. If you have discovered a fix, please post your solution for the benefit of others. If an existing post has helped you, then refer to it in your reply.
Don't hesitate to post a question if you need help, but please do a little research before asking for help with an issue that may have already been addressed. Google any error codes as part of your research. I'm almost positive something will come up.
note: The additional posts in this "thread" should have been submitted in other, more relavant forums. As such, this topic should be closed. Any further additions or modifications should be the domain of moderators.
I hope this "thread" has been helpful.

If you are referring to my post I don't know how more specific I can be. I have read the "How to build" instructions and as stated in my post been to BartPE's webpage and read the instructions there too. I also said that I built a standard UBCD without a hitch. I just had some problems building a custom one. In regards to where to post since I obviously according to you I should post elsewhere why don't you suggest where. And as far as saying "thank you" at the end of the post I said "Thanks" even before I got any help. Maybe you should read my post. I am a newbie to not only UBCD but to a forum too. Disregard this post if the comments where not directed at me.
