I appreciate your instructions as I decided today to lose the cd case, or at least bench it. I managed to get everything I wanted to boot and run properly except for UBCD4Win. UBCD4Win boots, and makes it all the way to the Windows XP loading screen and then I get a BOSD. I am going to continue playing with it this weekend and see what I can come up with, but any advice would be great. Hi.
