DFT is on the UBCD 4.11, after googleing UBCD 4.11, which is the version I have, I found that the DFT on this version is 4.09.

Be advised that is what I ran to get the results in my first post.

Are suggesting that I download,burn and run the latest UBCD version and DFT ?


I do usually run the latest that I have but have used older versions as well. I've had times when a newer version wouldn't see the drives, especially when connected via USB so I go with what works. If a newer version has bug fixes it only makes sense to use it over a previous version.

If you do download the newest UBCD - 5.2.9, I would boot to PMagic first to see if I could get anything off before doing anything else that could further corrupt data. If nothing important is on the drive, I'd skip that and just re-partition, re-format and re-install/restore OS.

Also - corrupted sectors don't always mean bad sectors but wouldn't hurt running a full scan of surface before re-installing/restoring OS.

Thank you for your patience PINEY. I going to try using UBCD 5.2.9 since I don't see a version of PMagic on my version of UBCD. Try and save any important data I can find off the drive and repartition, reformat, and reinstall Vista.

There's just one problem. Can I repartition and reformat the drive using UBCD alone?

And all I have to try to reinstall/restore the operating system is a recovery dvd that the system prompted me to create when I first turned on the computer.

I do not have an operating system cd/dvd.

Just so you know I already tried the recovery dvd to restore the operating system from it's current state with no luck.

You can use GParted which is included in PMagic to re-partition the drive. There are several formatting utilities in UBCD but I usually use the OS I'm installing to do that.

The recovery DVD will format and possibly partition the drive. If your system had a recovery partition it should re-create that partition and restore the system partition/drive to factory settings. If your having problems with the recovery DVD you may have to get another from the manufacturer or replace with a retail version. You can often find ISOs of recovery DVDs available on the net, some legal downloads and other not so much.

I tried running PMagic. At the "Copying files to RAM" part of the PMagic setup I got this,"Cp read error: Input/output error.

Mounting PMagic_2013_08_01.SQFS...mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

Mounting //sqfs_disk/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS failed.

So I never got to the PMagic desktop screen.

Did you check the MD5 of the ISO you downloaded?

Are you booting from a CD or USB?

You can try another Live CD/DVD or USB to copy over files.

You are helping me sooooooo much. I am using a CD-RW for the UBCD ISO Image. So using ImgBurn I fully erased the cd and burned it again, this time also using ImgBurn's Verify feature.

Put the CD-RW Disc in the computer and got to PMagic's desktop screen.

I can see the files in the Recovery Partition. But the files on the Windows Partition, I get this error message"udevil: error 64: unable to determine device fstype-specify with-t".

I guess that means I can't recover any of music, videos, or documents.

You can try to recover the partition, testdisk is included in PMagic... If your able to recover the partition you should be good, but I would still copy everything over to another drive and reload/restore.

Chances are the files are lost, drive is possibly dead.

See if you can access the recovery partition when booting, I found forum posts showing F8 and F11. The timing can be a bit of a pain with some systems and when to hit the button. I usually keep hitting the key every couple seconds, mainly as the cursor starts flashing in the upper left corner on some.

If you can't get that to work I would just replace the drive and try the restore CD/DVD again.

Good luck.

Hello Piney. Guess what, using Kingwins EZ-CONNECT USB 2.0 to SATA & IDE Adapter for 2.5" & 3.5" Hard Drives, I was able to hook the supposed failed hard drive to my other desktop computer and now I have access to all the files on that drive.

Still plan to replace that drive. Is there a way to copy this entire (failed drive) to a newer drive, put the newer drive in the computer and make it work as before?

UBCD has several "Cloning" programs, you can find them in the menu under HDD/Disk Cloning. I've used EaseUs Disk Copy and others with little to no problems. The hard drive manufacturer's boot CDs usually have something for this such as Western Digitals DLG having Acronis True Image which is excellent.

If the recovery partition from the old drive is still good, you may even be able to restore from that again after cloning the drive.

Note: If there are corrupt or worse, bad sectors on the drive the data may still be lost but hopefully you can get what you need off of the drive. It's nice to hear that you are able to access the drive that way.

UBCD 5.2.9 Parted Magic Virus Scanner - Resolve ASAP Please

Hello, I hope I posting in the right section.

Here is the issue:

I am trying to run Virus Scanner in Parted Magic on UBCD 5.2.9.

I have the Internal HDD mounted to the system(verified via Command Line).

When I open Virus Scanner and select "A Device" I get the error:

"No devices were found.
If you have connected a device, you may need to mount it first."

I am actually able to see with the PArted Magic Mount that the drives are mounted, and I can access the files within.

I need to scan the 2 HDD for viruses immediately, since the OS is corrupted to where it cannot run its own security. I also need this resolved ASAP.

Also when I run "clamscan /dev/sda1" via terminal I get the error:
"WARNING: /dev/sda1: Not supported file type"

Same for:
"WARNING: /dev/sdb1: Not supported file type"

Both drives are NTFS.

I also getting errors that my VIrus Scanner GUI and Virus Definitions has updates, but cannot find how/where to update them at.

Anyone have any suggestions?

The version of PartedMagic included in UBCD 5.2.9 is not the latest one available.

Currently, PartedMagic is still GPL, but it is not free (it costs just a few dollars). If you want the latest version of PartedMagic, go to its web page.

There are other methods to scan for malware offline. Several vendors provide ISO images ("LiveCD" or "LiveUSB") for free, and several "Live" Linux distributions include ClamAV. You might want to try, for example, SysRescueCD (among others). Note that some "Live" systems might be less user-friendly than others.

Hey Piney, my computer is back up due to Acronis True Image. I was able to clone the Recovery Partition only, to a new hard drive of the same size as the original 160GB. I put the new drive in the computer hooked up the monitor, keyboard, started it up and it booted to the recovery partition. On the System Recovery Option screen I had two choices, 1. Choose Operating System. 2. Load Drivers.

I clicked Load Drivers since there were no Operating Systems showing.

The Add Drivers window came up next asked for Installation Media for the device.

Since I didn't have a Vista disc, I put the Recovery Disc in the DVD-+RW drive clicked ok and the window that came up next showed all the drivers on the Recovery Disc but I didn't know what drivers to click on. So I clicked back and clicked Cancel and that's what got the ball rolling because the computer took over from there loaded every thing it needed and in about an hour it was was loading the Vista Operating System as before.

Just wanted to let you know that time was well spent. Thank very much again for all help.

When I get the chance I am going to sent you a donation to help with UBCD Project.

Issues booting to freshly made disc

I've followed all the provided instructions to be able to get a working disc but am still having problems...

Downloaded ISO
burnt to disc using Active@ISO Burner on the slowest available speed 10X
Verified cd does indeed have the following data/structure after burning
c:\ubcd-extracted\
boot\
pmagic\
ubcd\
autorun.inf
license.txt
tried booting to the disc using two different machines and get the same results (see below)

boot:_

Based on what I've read it seemed like I should be able to burn the ISO to disc, boot to it and get the menu shown as the first image here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html

What am I missing :( ??

It seems you have first extracted the original ISO image before burning "something" to the optical media.

Have you tried burning the original UBCD ISO image?

Have you tried using 4x burning speed? Other optical media brand?

Any chance you could try booting UBCD with a USB flash drive instead?

I've got corrupt Vista OS with 0xc0000098 error

This laptop was donated to my nonprofit so I do not have original disks. I have tried F12, F11, F8, etc.. but the option to access the recovery never shows - or - anything I try never gets past the Boot Manager error screen. There's nothing filewise I have to save or recover as we just use this to work ob

I burned the UBCD disk and have it in the laptop.

Does the UBCD help lead me to the recovery partition and if so, which utility should I use?

Thank you.
