The Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) allows users to run diagnostic tools from most CDROM drives on Intel-compatible machines, no operating system required. The CD includes many diagnostic utilities and can also be used to provide shared internet access or browse the web.
Ultimate Boot CD features an interface that is reminiscent of BIOS output, so system administrators and home users should not face any problems in navigating around the command-line interface.
The project is mature, commencing in July 2003.
Features include:
- Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives.
- Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD.
- Run Ultimate Boot CD from your USB flash drive.
- Linux-based distro Parted Magic is included.
- Supports both syslinux/isolinux and grub4dos.
