 DG: Great Program, everyone should have a CD that boots to XP. Especially for emergencies. Your "original Windows Installation CDROM" NEEDS to have Service Pack 2.

3D Tools? This is more files/folders or at least misc/other. It's an O/S program, not graphics. [2006-06-15 06:51]

 Andrew Lee: My apologies. I have fixed the subcategory value. [2006-06-15 23:07]

 a: one should note.. E-machines, and i believe others dont give out the original windows disks they give only restore disks only for e-machines computer, so those wont work with bartPE, because i've tried.. damn e-machines. craputors alright. [2007-04-28 14:55]

 Richard: I finally decided to give BartPE a try so that I could make a bootable Ghost 8 CD, but when I would go to boot the finished CD, the damn thing would freeze at the "please wait" bar every time.

I spent my whole weekend trying to get it to work.

No matter what options I enabled/disabled and no matter what files I added or removed, it would still freeze at that "please wait" bar.

What a waste of time!

I ended up going with HawkPE.
Unfortunately, it doesn't enable CD/DVD burning support in Ghost, but at least the thing boots.

 Richard: Well, I decided to try one more thing before giving up on BartPE.

I tried using my friend's Windows XP disk instead of mine and it worked.

My disk was version 2600.1152 (SP2)

and his disk was version 2600.1106 (SP1)

I can't believe I was unable to find any support anywhere related to freezing with certain XP versions.
BartPE has been around a long time now ... it seems like someone must have known about this problem.

Hopefully I don't encounter any more mystery bugs!

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
