Ultimate Boot CD 5.2.4 Final Full Version | 518.7 MB
UBCD is a tool I’ve used for years and its free! With dozens upon dozens
of tools you rarely need anything else. It includes but not limited to
hard drive testers, memory diagnostics, password resets, virus removals,
and tons more! Its primary a collection of tools used to repair a
computer that won’t boot.
You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:
Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. 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!
Run Ultimate Boot CD from your USB memory stick. A script on the CD
prepares your USB memory stick so that it can be used on newer machines
that supports booting from USB devices. You can access the same tools as
you would from the CD version.
New features in UBCD V5.x include:
New! The Linux-based distro Parted Magic is now included with UBCD V5.0.
This should be the method of choice when you need to resize/rescue
partitions, access NTFS filesystems or work with USB storage devices.
New! UBCD V5.x now supports both syslinux/isolinux and grub4dos. This
helps improve the chances that UBCD will boot on any particular machine.
When you boot up from the CD, a text-based menu will be displayed, and
you will be able to select the tool you want to run. The selected tool
actually boots off a virtual floppy disk created in memory.

- Updated HDClone to V4.3.2. Thanks to ady for the update.
- Fixed a regression in “\ubcd\tools\linux\syslinux2grub4dos\syslinux2grub4dos.sed” that causes converted grub4dos scripts to be missing the “ubcdcmd” parameter.
- FDUBCD: Updated deltree.com in (FDUBCD/level1/freedos.cab/bin) to V1.02g. Updated jemm386.exe (FDUBCD/bin) to V5.78. UBCD FreeDOS version updated to V1.49.

- Updated grub4dos to 0.4.5c-2013-05-21 and adopted Explorer09′s suggestion to change the border color of the grub4dos menu to match syslinux’s by updating “\ubcd\tools\linux\syslinux2grub4dos\syslinux2grub4dos.sed”.
- Updated Parted Magic to 2013_05_01_i586. This version fixes the issue of Firefox maxing out CPU, but has a regression in running from RAM. As such, I have commented out that option for this release so that only the “live” boot option is available.
- Updated CPUStress to V2.3.3. Thanks to Explorer09 for the update.
