I just started looking into this myself and so far I'm part way there.. maybe someone can figure out the rest so we can use UBCD v4.

1) leave /isolinux directory intact
2) make sure your /ezboot directory (or whatever you use) has bcdw.bin in it.
3) command is..
CODE
bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin

OR
CODE
bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin menu.c32 /menus/main.cfg


depending on your needs.

The only problem from here on seems to be some issue with the loading of each app in UBCD.  After you select an app and it does it's thing to get to said app, it drops to the q:/ directory instead of [cd drive]:/dosapps/[app].  So the selected app doesn't run.

I'm sure there is a way around this or something I'm missing.. maybe someone has the solution?

btw if I manually cd to the needed directory and run the app.. all is as expected.

joe941988  give it a try and let me know if you have the same problem.  Maybe the 2 of us can figure it out.  Oh btw you should be able to use the bcdw method for your qparted issues too ;)

Ok I have the full solution now after reading this UBCD forum thread

Problem was that I deleted \ubcd.ico from my image as I was using my own .ico file for the disc.  I have since put the ubcd.ico file back and all is well.

Full Solution..

1) Copy full contents of the UBCD 4.x over to your new multiboot disc your making.  Do not remove or rename \isolinux\*  \ubcd.ico  or  \website\*

2)  Make sure you have bcdw.bin in your \ezboot\ directory or wherever you are storing your easyboot stuff on the disc.  (it comes with easyboot, find it in EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot).

3)  Command to load UBCD loader via the easyboot menu is
CODE
bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin

OR  if you have more then one app on your disk using \isolinux then boot directly using..
CODE
bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin menu.c32 /menus/main.cfg


4)  OPTIONAL!  If you want UBCD 4x to work without keeping \ubcd.ico file on you disc structure.  You can manually edit \bin\ubcd.bat in the \images\dosubcd.igz floppy image.  You need to open said file with a program like winimage.  Beyond that your on your own..

NOTE:  I suggest you keep the filesystem layout intact instead of editing ubcd.bat in step 4.  This way the original authors hard work is preserved and you not trying to pass of his work as your own.  Also using this method ensures you can include newer versions of UBCD in your multiboot disk with ease (without re-editing every time).

Hope this helps any and all curious users..

:)

I think this may work:

CODE
bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin /isolinux/menu.c32 /menus/main.cfg


I didn't get to try it yet becuase my boot disk freezes anytime I try to load anything.
This is the first time it froze.  I have no idea what to do.

So, is there anyone who could help me with integration of Ultimate Boot CD 5 to EasyBoot?

In the Missing Manual there directions say:

QUOTE
-- UBCD 5.03

a) Integrate the UBCD .iso file with balder's EasyBoot-ISO script.

Command: "memdisk ubcd.img.gz"


however all the links there are to the deat megaupload server, so the scripts cannot be downloaded.

Could anyone help me with the files or solution to the UBCD problem?

UBCD511 need some special treatment :p

Test this:

1. Extract folder 'pmagic' from UBCD511.ISO to folder disk1 (I used UltraIso to this operation)

2. Copy UBCD511.iso-file to folder ezboot

3. Use menu command in EasyBoot.  run UBCD511.iso  (or whatever name you have to UBCD511.iso-file)

Check 'Joliet' and nothing else when creating ISO in EasyBoot.'
Optionally you can delete file 'pmagic-6.6.sqfs' in UBCD511.iso-file in folder EZBOOT (I used UltraISO)
Note: this is not needed but save some space :cool:  
I haven't tested all software but some of it and it looks promising :)  

Attention! You must also use the latest updated EasyBoot (version; 6.5.2.695) :O

Thanks. I will try that.

PS. For everyone who is looking for the balder's EasyBoot scripts, look at his signature ;). I missed it myself somehow.
