I sucessfully created a couple of UBCDWin boot CD's, but now it won't. At the end of the log it mentions that it can't find 'BOOTSECT.BIN' if that's the reason... here's that part.

My directory structure is:

and the BOOTSECT.BIN is located in C:\ubcd4win\BartPE

Did you recently install or update cygwin? Is cygwin in your system path?

@grindy

Does file C:\ubcd4win\BartPE\BOOTSECT.BIN or C:\ubcd4win\BartPE\bootsect.bin exist?
Case is importand.

Post some more lines, include the hole mkisofs command line.

Do you use a virus scanner?

Well, I re-downloaded UBCD4Win and re-installed it.
I thought all was fine, because I was able to create an ISO which I burned and made a bootable CD that works just fine.
After that, I went back to do another one ( after updating the virus and malware apps using the config option which went fine as usual ). However, the process failed as below: ( I've copied what I believe are the pertinant areas ).

For this error:
Error: addLine() failed 0: The operation completed successfully. (Line 0 String "BCDW\BCDW.INI,InitOptions,logo")

Open up the "C:\ubcd4win\plugin\Multiboot-003\bcdw\bcdw_logo.inf"
and have a look at the: AddLine Section:
does it say:
"BCDW\BCDW.INI,InitOptions,logo"

it should be:
"BCDW\BCDW.INI","InitOptions","logo"

the append section in memtest.inf:
BCDW\BCDW.INI,memtest_bcdw.ini

@grindy
Plugin "!Multiboot: BCDW: Enable Boot Logo" does work.

Did you tested md5sum after download?

Did you disabled plugin "!Multiboot: BCDW (Required for MultiBoot)"?
Disable all MultiBoot plugins or keep this requied one.

Hello, first time post here.

I am having same error.

story is:
we created a disk to boot up multiple systems and install a ghost image on. it worked fine on one system, then i get viamraid.sys error on the other 5 motherboards we have. i then removed some folders of drivers and now i get an iso of 34kb and a message about 'bootsect.bin' not being found. i do a search of it and there are two instances on my computer in the ubcd or bartpe file structure.

i dont know what else is needed, but if someone has a clue or needs more info to assist with this, i'd appreciate it.
thanks

Does message read 'BOOTSECT.BIN' or 'bootsect.bin'? Post full command line.

Does file bootsect.bin or BOOTSECT.BIN exist?
Strange, ubcd bootsect.bin dosn't sound good.
Where is ubcd and bartpe located? Name full path.
What's your output folder?

Which step did you do? Which files did you deleted?
Did you rerun UBCD4WinBuilder?

Do you use a virus scanner?

Or start again, get UBCD4win files. Expand files and rerun.

I am having the same errors as the guy above. i have checked all file structures and they are compliant with the 'no spaces' rule. i have one bootsect.bin and it appears in my \bartpe folder after creation of the ubcd4win project.
\ubcd\bartpe
\ubcd

this is getting ridiculous. i make 1 good disk, then on the next project i have to remove the complete file structure, reextract and change all settings again, then hope it works.
i cant be the only one having this problem.
does mcafee have an issue with allowing files to be manipulated within this program? i am out of ideas.

#1 recommendation : please review the "how to build" instructions and the FAQ on the main page

That's a little vague, please state/post the exact errors you experienced. I doubt that you got all of the same errors reported by grindy. Every computer system is different, so it's kinda silly for anyone to assume that you experienced the exact same scenario and errors as grindy reported.

Is it possible that you mixed UBCD with UBD4WIN?... just suggesting a possibility

You managed to quote CDOBs' helpful questions, but you didn't provide any relevant answers.

If all else fails due to your particular security software and settings (McAfee)... try a fresh build from scratch in safe mode and follow the "how to build" instructions exactly.
Get at least one "vanilla" build ( don't change any settings and don't add any plugins) under your belt before experimenting.
Master the "vanilla" build and determine whether you need to make adjustments for drivers required for your specific hardware.
If you don't need to add any drivers and have a good bootable disc, then by all means make whatever changes you need to your own custom builds, including adding plugins.

[color=#FF0000]I have removed the complete UBCD directory and reinstalled UBCD4WIn, before your post. now i am receiving 'mtee' is not a valid internal or external command, error.
as far as vanilla goes, removing all the programs i dont want to install is more vanilla than the default settings.
i have read the howto, and its not explaing jack crap about the plugins. there are some that say !critical, yet arent turned on by default. my previous error about bcdw.ini and bootsect.bin were just as they were posted above, didnt think i had to retype or cut and paste another paragraph. what you saw above was what i had. i also realized, that was my previous post.
I have followed your instructions and believe it may be we mixed UBCD and UBCD4WIN.

but i am not in Ubcd4win and getting the mtee message. can anyone extrapolate what this means??? i thought it was a switch for mkisofs command?

thanks to all.

This is what i am getting now from ubcd4winbuilder.log

Build ISO image
Running external program
C:\UBCD4WIN\mkisofs.exe -iso-level 4 -volid "The Ultimate Boot CD for Windows" -b bootsect.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide bootsect.bin -hide boot.catalog -o "C:\UBCD4WIN\iso\UBCD4Windesktop.iso" "C:\UBCD4WIN\BartPE"
Could Not Find C:\UBCD4WIN\pebuilder.log
'mtee' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Building ISO image done
Building done...

what now? why does this program take so much headache to run?
before this, i wiped all ubcd folders/files, reinstalled ubcd4win, ran the initial setup config and then ran the build using defaults and got several errors on bcdw.ini, dban, and two others, i removed them from the list of plugins and others i didnt want, then i got the error above.

again, the defaults arent working when i follow the instrucitons for installing, they arent working. i need the errors i have mentioned addressed, if anyone knows the answers.

thanks for trying.

Getting frustrated will not solve ANYTHING!
There are THOUSANDS of users that have NO problems creating the project CD. Yes this is an error that has been happening to a few people over the past few weeks maybe months.

This project has been around for almost 3 years now and I have seen and heard just about everything! In most of these cases it is almost always some silly little detail being left out or being messed up by the end user. We are doing the best to help you, however I think in most of these issues here.....we need more information.

I tried to research this problem a little more and can only find posts about mtee being messed up in other language versions of XP. One user fixed this error by using an English copy of XP instead of his native language of XP. I am also thinking that some antivirus software messes with the file too. However that has been suggested and according to at least one person in this post it didn't work for him.

I have to get back to work now though for my paying job. Like I mentioned, please provide more information. What you have tried, what version of XP you have, what language of XP you have, do you have your AV software disabled when building, have you tried safe mode, etc., etc.
