I am stuck on something I have everything done in Rufus but when I came to the part that says Click on CD icon button, Browse to your ubcd5iso file and click open I clicked and it said
please click on disc button to select bootable image
Not sure what I did or didnt do Can you please tell me what to do. Thank you so much

Are you sure you chose ISO Image?

Format Options:
Uncheck "Check device for bad blocks"
Check "Quick format"
Check "Create a bootable disk using ISO Image"
Click the CD icon button, browse to your ubcd5##.iso file, and click Open
Check "Create extended label and icon files"

I can see it is on ISO image but that is what it said BUT the stuff I need is on the flash drive. Iam not sure what I did

ILS? So you were able to create the bootable flash drive successfully?

If so, please run the WD Data Lifeguard tools like Broni said.

I meant ISO Yes it shows on the flash drive

Is that right?

I did that if its the digdiag_5_22 ?
and not sure what to do now In the instructions it says to remove the flash drive and from there I am lost. Sorry I am not sure how to boot up in USB mode

Wait a minute. Are you trying to create a UBCD5 flash drive or not? A bootable UBCD5 would have boot, pmagic, and ubcd folders. My instructions don't say to remove the flash drive. Leave the flash drive plugged in.

I don't see where you listed the make/model of your system. It varies by manufacturer. You should be able to go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Or there might be a one-time boot menu. You can try pressing F2, F10, or F12 during boot.

Did you read post#4 in my UBCD Guide?

I have no idea where I got the instructions so what I have on flash drive is wrong?

**eippob** · October 27th, 2015, 03:34 PM

I have no idea where I got the instructions so what I have on flash drive is wrong? Should I start all over I am really mixed up. I am really sorry to take up your time and not understanding what I am doing.

**Midknyte** · October 27th, 2015, 03:38 PM

OK. From what I can tell, you created a WD DLG flash drive, not UBCD5. That should be enough to run the diags. You also need to copy the dlgdiag5.exe onto the flash drive. You're following the pdf from WD, correct?

You still didn't say what the make/model of your system is.

My procedures for UBCD5 also use Rufus, but I use an .iso. That's why I thought you were making a UBCD5 drive, not WD.

**eippob** · October 27th, 2015, 03:47 PM

Yes I was trying to follow the instructions I will check make or model now thank you hang on please

**eippob** · October 27th, 2015, 03:50 PM

It is WDC WD5000AAK-00V1Ao ATA device

**eippob** · October 27th, 2015, 03:52 PM

Do I send the zipped one to flash or the other one?

**Midknyte** · October 27th, 2015, 03:53 PM

That is the model of the hard drive, not your system. Like I said, different manufacturers have different boot procedures.

You could just try rebooting the system and see if it detects the usb drive as a boot drive.
