Ubcdwin4 Ver 3.20

[atc_traffic856]

My first question : can I use Microsoft Notepad as a txt editor to write a .inf file for a plug in to install into my UBCDWIN4 3.20 VERSION?
Is it possible to use a USB storage to install the plug in for my UBCDWIN4?
There are instructions on how to install a plug in, but if someone knows of a good site to learn how to install plug ins please let me know // ?
Thank you

Again thank you for your info site Sylvander/ now that I have accomplish to build the UBCD4WIN/ "Which is a wonder for me, to say the least."
I am trying to build the UBCDWIN4 VER3.20, to a USB drive my question is it better to format this USB device with a FAT or NTFS file system?
I have found the start of information of how to create booting from USB media. But I really did not see as to what file system is better for the UBCDWIN4?
Thank you again and of course if you have info on making USB booting devices please let me know, that is if you have the time.
Thanks Cheers

1. If your BIOS can boot a USB Flash Drive and you want to make a bootable UBCD4Win bootable Flash drive...

2. "is it better to format this USB device with a FAT or NTFS file system?"
Normally best to use the lowest grade of file system[s] consistent with the sizes of the partition[s] on the Flash Drive.
The size of the Flash Drive would determine the largest [maximum size of a single] volume/partition it could hold.
See the table at the bottom of this page. (http://www.pctechguide.com/31HardDisk_File_systems.htm)

FAT16 and FAT32 are compatible with nearly every OS around. Not that the OS in question can use it a 'home' file system to be installed to/boot from, but rather has at least read access or more commonly full read/write access. FAT16 is as close to a universal file system as there is (FAT12 may be closer, but who wants the limits of a floppy disk, these days?). So that is another reason to stick to a FAT version.
