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:
 
bullet Accessing very large (>2TB) NTFS volumes or accessing volumes that are not seen by the BIOS, like some fibre channel disks.
bullet Very reliable scanning and cleaning of viruses on NTFS volumes using a "clean boot".
bullet Active Directory support.
bullet 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.
