BartPE enables you to create a self-contained version of Windows on CD/DVD that runs "live" from the CDROM. It includes full network support and read/write access to NTFS volumes, which is great for diagnostic or troubleshooting purposes. It also includes a good number of built-in apps, and many more can be added via the plugin mechanism.

Note: You need the original Windows Installation CDROM in order to build the "live" CD.

Category:
Runs on:Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Application folder

How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch pebuilder.exe.

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!

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.

My apologies. I have fixed the subcategory value.

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.
