with ultimatebootcd it's easy to download the full version & replace insert with puppy, but i'm not sure with ubcdwin.

there's this thread, on combining ubcdwin & ubcd:

so you could first make a ubcd with puppy, as in the first link, then combine them, as in 2nd link.

these error messages are from the puppy cdroms? (not from puppy inside ubcdwin iso?)

what sort of computer do you have? some people have problems with toshiba lappies & have to disable pcmcia support to get puppy to boot. other posts report success turning acpi off on boot.

Actually I have a working puppy 2.13 (may be first realeased) on ubcd4win 3.02 that I made last year, tested already to about 10 different pc & still keep that iso file.
I tried to replace it or made a new iso file with puppy 2.13 or 2.14, but non are working.
I guest that error message to do something with puppy mounting problem, not cd-rom problem.

i'm not sure what's happening there? i had a ubcd iso where pressing F7, on booting, would boot pup1.08. i modified it two weeks ago & replaced 1.08 with 2.14 & it works fine.

the only thing i can recommend is that you run your pup2.14 using qemu to verify that it's a good download & bootable.
