BartPE

What is BartPE?

Barts PE Builder offers a versatile solution for creating a bootable Windows CD-ROM or DVD that can be used for a variety of PC maintenance tasks. By leveraging the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, the application generates a BartPE (Bart Preinstalled Environment) that operates independently of the primary storage drive or network access, making it suitable for scenarios where the main system is experiencing issues The BartPE environment loads system registry files into RAM, ensuring that no changes are written back to the boot media. This approach allows BartPE to be run from non-writable media, such as a CD-ROM, providing a safe and reliable environment for maintenance operations To create a BartPE bootable media, the Bart PE Builder application interprets and condenses files from the Windows setup CD, enabling the generation of a customized BartPE installation. This process supports both Windows XP Pro and Home Edition CDs, as well as pre-installed Windows XP versions without the need for a CD Beyond the core BartPE functionality, the application offers the ability to include additional applications through the use of "plugins." These plugins contain setup information for specific programs, allowing them to be seamlessly integrated into the BartPE setup and installed during the boot process. With hundreds of plugins available, users can tailor the BartPE environment to their specific needs, expanding its capabilities for tasks such as backup, restoration, diagnosis, and error-correction
