Ultimate Boot CD. User rating:. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a royal pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them. Free yourself from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive. Even if you do have a floppy drive, it is still much much faster to run your diagnostic tools from the CDROM drive, rather than wait for the tool to load from the floppy drive. Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD.
Wouldn't you like to avoid digging into the dusty box to look for the right floppy disk, but simply run them all from a single CD? Then the Ultimate Boot CD is for you! You can access the same tools as you would from the CD version. This project was started because of requests from members of the original Ultimate Boot CD yahoo group.
After a few days no one had volunteered, so I decided that I had enough time to do this and it was my way to give something back to the computing community. The "true" and "pure" ideal of helping people quickly spread, after close to 6 years now the project continues to grow. The first few weeks consisted mostly of discussions on how to accomplish this. We had to decide what should be included and searched for great stuff.
I found several solutions for this issue but manually slipstreaming required several applications and would add more complexity to the project. I didn't like this added complexity but figured we would be able to do something about that. A better solution was created and is discussed below. April 20, , I launched this site. After a few days of getting everything setup I realizing it was easy to setup a forum. So I announced the imminent closing of the yahoo group and requested that everyone join the forum.
The project and forum have grown since its start. Member registrations continue to grow and new teams have been created to help the development and support of the project. The slipstreaming problem needed addressed so I contacted one of my friends that is a programmer. Anonios author of AutoPatcher was glad to help and we started working together on creating a slipstreaming application. We worked pretty hard for several weeks creating the application. The primary method by which I share the UBCD ISO image is via P2P, because that's the fastest and most economical way a small project with limited budget can share a large file without incurring astronomical bandwidth cost.
You can also download through normal HTTP via a network of mirror sites found below maintained by volunteers. If you find a particular mirror site to be down temporarily, please be patient and try another one.
For more information about how to generate the image checksum, check out the wiki page on this topic. This is another topic that frequently trips up newbies who are not familiar with their CD recording software, such as Nero or Easy CD Creator. For further assistance, refer to the tutorials section for help with burning the ISO image to CD with various popular CD recording software. Where possible, experiment with CDRW discs instead of CDR discs so that you can start over if something goes wrong, instead of churning out coasters.
