HT: Steps to produce the Boot CD from scratch

9 easy steps to produce the Boot CD from scratch...

1.) Download the Ultimate Boot CD
From: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html

2.) Download the LiveCD from ReactOS
From: https://www.reactos.org/download
For better USB-Support take a VGal-Build: http://vgal.ru.com/category/reactos/
Or use one of our builds from https://github.com/UWBCD/UWBCD-ReactOS/releases and jump over to step 8.)... ^^

3.) Create a ReactOS-USB-Boot-Stick with Rufos
Download Rufos from: https://rufus.ie/
You can also use our VHD-Files from https://github.com/UWBCD/UWBCD-ReactOS/releases. ;-)
USE FAT32 AS FILE-SYSTEM! Reason: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/File_Systems#NTFS
IF YOU WANT TO CREATE VHD-IMAGES, USE A SMALL STICK, BECAUSE IT'S A 1:1-COPY!

4.) Collect your Software
You can also use our collections from https://github.com/UWBCD/UWBCD-ReactOS/releases. ;-)

5.) Copy your software to the stick
Copy your software to a folder on the stick.
Reason: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/File_Systems#NTFS

Boot your stick and install your software.

Copy the content of your stick with UltraISO into the empty ISO-File.
Use this empty ISO because it includes the original ReactOS-Bootloader 'FreeLoader'!
