deuces wild Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!PE Builder is not a Microsoft product and does not create Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment ("WinPE"). Using PE Builder does not grant you a license to Microsoft WinPE or to use the Windows XP or Server 2003 binaries in a manner other than stated in the End-User License Agreement include in your version of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has not reviewed or tested PE Builder and does not endorse its use.Here are a few things that are possible with PE and are not possible with any type of dos-based boot disk, even when using network support and ntfsdos: * Accessing very large (>2TB) NTFS volumes or accessing volumes that are not seen by the BIOS, like some fibre channel disks. * Very reliable scanning and cleaning of viruses on NTFS volumes using a "clean boot". * Active Directory support. * Have remote control over other machines, using vnc or remote desktop.Looks like a nice option for recovering from windows crashes. The program is free and legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
