UBCD5.00 (beta7) grub4dos menu External links Options

[Icecube]

I made an xdelta patch, which contains all changes I made compared to ubcd50b11.iso.

Download UBCD50b11 from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1786.
Download the xdelta patch from: http://ubcd.partedmagic.com/downloads/ubcd...grub4dos.xdelta.

Download xdelta from: http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/downloads/list.

Apply the patch:

CODE

xdelta3 -d -vfs "ubcd50b11.iso" "ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta" "ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso"

EDIT: Changed the command line to apply the patch. The patches produced by version 1.1.3 and version 3 of xdelta are incompatible and the command line options are different.

Download OK but I cannot succeed with the xdelta patch

I get:

CODE

UBCD_WORK>xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe patch ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta ubcd50b11.iso ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso
xdelta3: too many filenames: ubcd50b11.iso ...

What am I doing wrong ?

What am I doing wrong ?

Would this help? :
http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/wiki/CommandLineSyntax

Though is one good example of a completely unclear way to explain a command syntax.

Probably this is the "right" thing:

xdelta3.exe -d -s old_file delta_file decoded_new_file

Thanks jaclaz but still no succes ...

Have no experience with xdelta, will study and try again.

The syntax has been changed between versions .
I have version 1.1.3 on Ubuntu.

To use the same synthax, donwload the following batch:
http://xdelta.googlecode.com/issues/attach...ame=xdelta3.bat
It is the batch from Comment 5 by edwardk.info, Aug 01, 200 at http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/issues/detail?id=40

After saving the batch file, run:

CODE

xdelta3 patch ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta ubcd50b11.iso ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso

The right syntax for patching with the new version, is (xdelta3.exe can be named different, didn't check):

CODE

xdelta3.exe -d -vfs OLD_FILE DELTA_FILE  [DECODED_FILE]

So in this case:

CODE

xdelta3.exe -d -vfs "ubcd50b11.iso" "ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta" "ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso"

I am sorry, but I cannot perform the xdelta patch.

I tried also with "C:\Program Files\Xdelta\xdelta30q.exe"
as according to the batch,
but last version xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe did not work either.

In XP cmd window I get:

CODE

H:\UBCD_WORK>xdelta3 -d -vfs "ubcd50b11.iso" "ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta" "ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso"
xdelta3: unknown arguments

H:\UBCD_WORK>xdelta3 patch "ubcd50b11.iso" "ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta" "ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso"
xdelta3: not a VCDIFF input:
xdelta3: usage xdelta3 patch DELTA_FILE OLD_FILE [DECODED_FILE]

H:\UBCD_WORK>xdelta3 patch "ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta" "ubcd50b11.iso" "ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso"
xdelta3: not a VCDIFF input:
xdelta3: usage xdelta3 patch DELTA_FILE OLD_FILE [DECODED_FILE]

Would it be possible to Upload the New ubcd_grub4dos_menu.zip version for UBCD 5.0 beta 11
so that I can perform the needed changes as described in post #79

Thanks for your help,

wimb

I downloaded and compiled the last version of xdelta (xdelta3.0u)

Download the xdelta patch again (updated version): http://ubcd.partedmagic.com/downloads/ubcd...grub4dos.xdelta
The following should apply the patch:

CODE

xdelta3 -d -vfs "ubcd50b11.iso" "ubcd50b11_to_ubcd50b11-grub4dos.xdelta" "ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso"

xdelta version 1.1.3 and version 3 seems to be incompatible.

Hi Icecube,

Everything is Perfect now

The xdelta patch is working and the ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso is booting very well and submenu's appear.
And the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is booting also.

Thanks for everything

I got it running as well. Great job! I did find one problem with Parted Magic. I tried running Parted Magic and it gets to the log on prompt but doesn't load the GUI(tried all versions). Not sure if I missed anything...

[Icecube]

Have you burned the iso or are you using grub4dos iso emulation?
If you use grub4dos iso emulation, it is normal that it doesn't work.
If you use it, press e at the Parted Magic entry that you want to boot and add iso_location=/ubcd50b11-grub4dos.iso (change to the correct path of the UBCD iso) to the end of the kernel line.

The Parted Magic menu can use some fine tuning, I know.

Avira antivirus will not work with grub4dos iso emulation (won't scan, because it can't find the definitions). Extract the /antivir/ dir from the iso and place it on the root of your partition or CD.

If you find any boot entries that don't work, let me know.

Can anyone test if Memory ==> Windows Memory Diagnostic in the isolinux menu works in VMware, without the ro bigraw parameter (press TAB to change it)? I tested it in qemu and VirtualBox and it works fine without it, but according to Victor, it doesn't work in VMware (he didn't tried the last version). Also test if it works with the grub4dos menu. Test if the ro bigraw parameter is needed on real hardware too.
