i've got a copy of the UBCD. what do you think of it so far?

 

[waynejkruse10]

pretty good, i havnt needed to use it so far though

 

[Larry K]

so what does this do?

if your running a windows machine or any OS???
you can boot from this CD?
which then allows you to use any of those programs?

The OS you're running doesn't matter. That matters only when you boot from the hard drive. Most BIOSes have boot checking in this order: Floppy, CD, HD, Network. That way, you can put in a bootable MS DOS floppy to format your drive or initiate Windows Setup for those older BIOSes that cannot have an ATAPI CD drive (which means most CD ROM drives) in the boot order. You can boot from a CD (Windows Setup CD, other OS Setup, or Live OS type CD, like Knoppix...or the CD mentioned in this thread. If the BIOS, upon startup, detects no bootable CDs or floppies, it will then go to the harddrive to boot the main OS, which is what normally happens each time you boot the computer.

So just as when booting from a DOS floppy allows you to use the program known as fdisk (formatting drive c! fun ), this allows you to use this huge list of programs. For example, if you're playing with partitions (heh) and end up unable to boot your OS, this CD has a couple utilities that may help you fix that. Or perhaps you lost your Administrator password...there's a tool to retrieve that from the HD on this CD too. VERY useful.



I'm definitely downloading this. I can see this coming in handy for sure.

 

[waynejkruse10]

i like how it uses a linux shell, linux can be made to do anything

 

[Sevoma]

[waynejkruse10]
