Sometimes you want to run some floppy-based diagnostic tools from your CD ROM but your floppy drive is taking forever to load. If that is what you are experiencing, then what you need is the Ultimate Boot CD Full.

What is the big deal about this program?

This freeware allows you to run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CD ROM drives, it frees you from the annoying and time consuming waiting session from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive, or Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD.

As more and more PCs without floppy drives are entering the market, it would be such a harrowing experience to run diagnostic tools on them. But with this program, you can run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. Even when you have a floppy drive, it is a whole lot slower running your diagnostic tools from it. Ultimate Boot CD is much faster as it runs from the CD ROM.

Using this application, you can consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD. No need to be searching for the right floppy drive. Simply run all of them from a single CD. It is also very portable. You can run this application from your USB.

UltimateBootCD, the publisher of this program, has added a few changes to this version. They are:The Linux-based distro Parted Magic is now included with UBCD V5.0. This should be the method of choice when you need to resize/rescue partitions; access NTFS filesystems or work with USB storage devices and UBCD V5.x now supports both syslinux/isolinux and grub4dos. This helps improve the chances that UBCD will boot on any particular machine.

Downsides?

This is a CD you should at least give a try.
