Download these 2 files from the links above...

1) Ultimate Boot CD v2.4. (UBCD)
2) Bootable Cd Wizard.v1.50Z (BCDW)

IF you only want to use the tools that included in the UBCD v2.4 then you can just burn the image to CD and use it.

But if you like to add more DOS tools or other bootimages of your own to the CD since the UBCD's bootimage file very small and you still have alot of free space on your CD >
Then create a multiple-image bootable CD using the BCDW
as the bootmanager for your emergency / rescue / diagnostic tools CD.

To do this..

1) Burn the UBCD's ISO to a CD-RW
Then Using "WinISO" create an *.iso image of the bootbale CD (select "Make ISO from CDROM" from the menu "Actions")
Open the just created *.iso image (select "Open" from the menu "File")
Save the boot information to a *.wbt file (select "Save boot information to file..." from the menu "Bootable CD")
Put the *.wbt file on your CD with BCDW and Add an entry in \BootCat.ini for this boot option (see next steps)

2) Extract both UBCD v2.4's ISO file and the BCDW.v1.50Z file to same folder, name the folder anything you like.
and then put the .WBT file that you create from step 1 to the same folder. (see this below pic),

3) Add more DOS tools/programs to your CD,
to do this you need to create an *.ima image of the boot floppy
then put this *.ima image on your CD,

4) Then modify / add a new entry in the \BootCat.ini (see this pic as an example)

5) Create an ISO file,
Download... this file "bcd111.zip" ( http://www.nu2.nu/download.php?sFile=bcd111.zip)
from this page http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#revision the BCD full package v1.1.1 (523KB).
extract the zip file, all you need is two files.. "mkisofs.exe" and "cygwin1.dll"
put this 2 files in your \WINDOWS\system32.
then create a batch/script using the following info and name it BUILDISO.CMD,
put this script in the same folder with the others files in prior steps.
then run the script to create an ISO and burn it to your CD.

Don't worry overly much about whether a specific KB article exists for your version of Windows.
Standard practice is to grab whatever's available and apply the principles.
