Bootable UBCD5 Flash Drive
If your computer supports USB boot, you could create a bootable UBCD5 flash drive instead.
The flash drive must be reformatted, so make sure to move any important data off to another location.
*** WARNING! Rufus will destroy ALL data on the flash drive! ***
To create a bootable UBCD5 flash drive:
Download Rufus here: http://rufus.akeo.ie/
Run rufus-###.exe
Use the following parameters:
Drive Properties:
Device = verify that the correct flash drive is selected
Boot selection = Disk or ISO image
Click Select
Browse to your ubcd5.iso file, and click Open
Partition scheme = MBR
Target system = BIOS (or UEFI-CSM)
Format Options:
Volume label = You can keep the current label or rename the drive
File system = FAT32
Cluster size = 16 kilobytes (Default)
Click the Start button
*** WARNING #2! Rufus will destroy ALL data on the flash drive! ***
Click OK
*Rufus will now write UBCD5 to your flash drive*
Click Close
Remove MBR from USB flash drive using DiskPart
Remove MBR from USB flash drive using Windows
If you have a USB flash drive that was previously set up as bootable, but you want to make it non-bootable again:
*** Disconnect all USB drives except for the flash drive you are modifying ***
*** Backup your flash drive data first! ***
