Ultimate Boot CD for windows problem

[Deleted member 61728]

Hi i have a problem i have a infected dell dimension 8400 pc that has a broken internal dvd drive and will not read/write.Ive tried using a external usb dvd drive to boot a copy of UBCD but it fails to detect it in bios.Is it possible to boot UBCD via usb if yes would it work with that dell? Are there any other solutions possible that don't involve getting another dvd drive ?




thanks in advance

So, you've followed the guide. Put the USB Stick in the machine, on boot at the BIOS POST screen, you've hit F12 and selected the USB Stick?

yes the usb device option do you know of any guides on this as they seem to be hard to find ?
