I've tried your Alternative method because I cba to copy those syslinux files lol. Let us know if anything of this works correctly. This shouldn't be a necessary step, but who knows.ģ_ Expand your (customized) UBCD ISO image, if you haven't done it yet.Ĥ_ Go to ubcd\tools\win32 (or ubcd/tools/linux if corresponds) in the UBCD expanded tree.Ħ_ From the command prompt, run the ubcd2usb script. Then you can reboot your netbook with the UFD.ġ_ Backup any files from UFD that you want to save.Ģ_ Format your UFD (with RMPrepUSB if it worked for you).
The only "problem" is that Syslinux has all the final binaries distributed in several different folders/directories of the zip package, so you need to do this manually.Īfter copying (replacing) the relevant Syslinux files, run Syslinux.exe from the UFD. The Syslinux version installed and the COM32 (R) files (and all other Syslinux files like for example memdisk) need to be of the same exact version.ĭownload the latest Syslinux, expand it, and replace every Syslinux file that currently resides in your UFD with the latest version you downloaded. If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated.Įverytime I try to boot the usb I get an error in regards with Syslinux and COM32 I followed the steps correctly but everytime I try to boot the usb I get an error in regards with Syslinux and COM32.
I then used a tutorial on this site to make UBCD bootable on a usb flash drive using 'RMPREPUSB'. The picture isn't very clear but it's something about a fatal error and couldn't load a file: This is what I get when a few seconds after I reboot.
I rebooted but nothing happens in terms of it recovering the partition table. It found it and selected 'write' and it required me to reboot. UBCD booted onto my netbook and I managed to load up Testdisk and anylase partition table. I made new flash drive to boot 'TestDisk' from 'Parted Magic' from 'UBCD' using 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.6.exe' to prepare the UBCD iso onto my flash drive. I then booted the XP USB flash drive prepared with flashboot and it said there were no available partitions so I had to use 'FDISK' which is included on the flash drive but I mucked it up and it appears that all my partitions are no gone (windows 7 no longer boots). Beforehand on my netbook, I resized and created a new partition for XP using 'Easy Partition maker' (something like that) and it did that. I used a tool called 'flashboot' to prepare an XP iso to make it boot from a usb flash drive. I'm a noob when it comes to linux but basically, I've been trying to install windows Xp on my netbook (samsung N150+ dual core model) from usb since it doesn't have a disc drive and I do not have an external dvd drive.
