Bart PE
Introduction
Bart PE - Bart is a name of the person his actual name
is
Bart Lagerweij and PE is
"Preinstalled Environment" so know as Bart Preinstalled Environment -Bart PE
What is BartPE and PE Builder?
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!
Goodbye to all the good and bad dos-based NTFS
utilities! Now we can boot from a CD-Rom and have full read/write access to
NTFS volumes!
Here are a few things that are possible with WinPE 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. |
Well it was based on WIn PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) .We all didn't
knew that there was a tool called Win PE developed by Microsoft. Because it was
based on this license. Here it is
..."You may only install and
use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT if you are an active Microsoft Software Assurance
Member ("SAM") for the systems product pool or servers product pool, if you
currently have license coverage for Microsoft Windows operating system (OS)
Upgrades via a Campus Agreement or School Agreement, or if you are a current or
former participant in the Windows XP Joint Development Program, Windows XP Rapid
Adoption Program, Windows .NET Server Joint Development Program, or Windows .NET
Server Rapid Adoption Program. If you do not meet one or more of the
requirements listed above, you may not install or use this SOFTWARE PRODUCT and
you must terminate the installation of this SOFTWARE PRODUCT immediately"...
Hope you understood the license!
This is also time consuming in making the windows
bootable cd, just like the
911 Rescue CD
So have more spare time with you. This also a
interesting concept.
