![]() Interface design The interface of UBCD is designed in the old style, the interface is completely black with texts representing the main program categories, and the transition between the categories is done using the keyboard only.Ultimate Boot CD contains a lot of tools, most of these programs are dedicated to dealing with various computer resources, such as the processor, hard disk, RAM, and others. The UBCD comes as a file in the well-known ISO format, and in order to use it on your computer, you must burn it to a CD or USB flash drive, and then boot through it and start using the disk's content as you wish.īurn the ISO file to a USB flash You will need a USB flash drive of at least 4GB, and then use a burner like Rufus or any alternative program to burn the ISO file directly to the USB flash easily. Setting the system to boot from an external memory How does Ultimate Boot CD work The maintenance disk operates independently from the operating system, where the boot is chosen via the maintenance CD instead of the operating system, and then uses the tools in the maintenance CD to fix the operating system.It performs maintenance tasks on the operating system, such as file recovery, system repair, handling hard disks, and others. Ultimate Boot CD A free computer maintenance disk is available as an ISO file.Here comes the importance of the maintenance disk, Ultimate Boot CD. Sometimes problems occur in the computer, these problems may stop the operating system from booting, and you will not be able to access important files and documents. Setting the system to boot from an external memory.To save space, you can delete the entire USB \HBCD\DOS folder as it is no longer required. Close all Explorer Windows and reboot and try out some of the the DOS Programs menu. Press Enter when prompted (several times)Ħ. Now find and run \HBCD\Dos\dosimg.cmd by double-clicking on itĤ. Double-Click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and find the USB disk volume.ģ. ![]() Boot to Mini Windows XP on a REAL SYSTEM!Ģ. Note: This MUST be done a real system booted to Hiren's Mini XP and NOT under emulator or VM that does not allow writes to the USB drive (or use QEMU in RMPrepUSB v2.1.709 or later which enables USB writes or use DavidB's Virtual Machine USB Boot utility Oracle Vbox (see Tutorial #4 for details)).ġ. Hiren as made this easy however as you can create this image file and copy it within mini Windows XP as follows: In order for the Hirens DOS Programs menu to work correctly, we may need to make and copy a DOS image file to the \HBCD\BOOT folder on your USB boot drive. Note: This step is NOT necessary for a FAT32 USB drive - If your USB drive is NTFS and not FAT32, then you may need to follow these steps (but try a DOS Program first to check!). Step 6 - Getting the DOS utilities to work with an NTFS drive To fix this, find the \HBCD\Menu.lst file and the KonBoot menu.ĭirectly under the KonBoot menu entry, add the line in red KonBoot may not work because it is booting from the USB drive instead of the CD (if it prints '2 HDD SWAP' then it should work), so HDD0 will be the USB drive and not the internal hard disk. You can also copy the entire \HBCD folder to the root of the USB drive (F:\HBCD) so that is is automatically detected next time.Ģ. Then run the HBCDMenu.cmd file in the root of the new virtual CD by double-clicking on it. If you just want to get the HBCDMenu working in MiniXP, locate the ISO file in Hirens XP Windows Explorer - right-click - select 'Mount as ImDisk Virtual Disk'. You can now test this works using RMPrepUSB QEMU or by booting from a real system. Copy or extract the \HBCD\Boot folder to the USB boot drive \HBCD\BOOT folder using 7Zip - you should now have a folder on the USB drive called \HBCD\BOOT and inside it will be about 16 files and the pmagic folder. To fix this you will need to copy the files from inside the ISO to the USB boot drive as follows:ġ. ![]() Other utilities may still not work correctly from just an ISO file (depends on what version of Hirens you have). Step 5 - Getting the other utilities (linux/pmagic/password changer, etc.) to work
