Create a Super System Maintenance Boot CD that will boot your computer into a Windows-like graphical interface and connect to the network and support file systems such as FAT/NTFS/CDFS. With it, even if the computer is completely crashed, you can easily rescue the data without booting, and even back up to the LAN server. In addition, you can also integrate some common tools to the CD, such as anti-virus software, compression software and so on.

DOS
solve the problem. With the increasing popularity of NTFS file systems in Windows 2000/XP/2003, the problem has become more complicated, and the use of boot floppy disks alone has not been able to meet daily needs. Microsoft has introduced a bootable CD called Windows PE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) that provides support for network and NTFS partitions, but it is customized for OEMs and enterprise customers, and is difficult for ordinary users to get. And it is a command line interface, which is inconvenient to use.
Introduced today, this tool called Barts PE Builder can create a full graphical interface system maintenance boot CD, which can support network and remote management functions, support FAT/NTFS/CDFS and other common The file system can be integrated with common system maintenance tools, which is very suitable for system maintenance.
a preparatory work
1. system installation CD. Barts PE Builder (hereafter referred to as BPEB) needs to extract files from Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Therefore, you need to have the corresponding installation CD or the installation files backed up on the hard disk. Windows XP requires SP1 patch, home version. Or the professional version can be.
2. network support files. To make the production CD support the network, you need two files: factory.exe and netcfg.exe, which are sometimes called x86factory.exe and x86netcfg.exe. To get factory.exe, you can find it in the "deploy.cab" file in the Support\\tools directory of the Windows Server 2003 installation CD.
You can also click here to download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit, and then use WinRAR to open the "rktools.msi" in the self-extracting file, which can be found in the "deploy.cab" package. The netcfg.exe file can be found on the WinPE 1.2, ERD Commander 2002 CD.
3. Chinese plugin. Since BPEB is currently designed for English systems, it is necessary to download a Chinese support plug-in from the online search so that BPEB can display Chinese normally.
Second, production of CD ISO image
first step: to download BPEB archive into a temporary directory, such as C: \\ download, then "factory.exe" and " The two files "netcfg.exe" are also copied to the C:\\download directory, and then the downloaded Chinese plugin compression package is opened, and the "chs" directory and its files are extracted into the C:\\download\\plugin directory.
Step 2: Double-click pebuilder.exe in the C:\\download directory to run BPEB. Click the “Next” button in the welcome screen to continue.
Step 3: In the “Source” step, “Path to Windows installation files” is used to set the Windows XP or 2003 installation file path. If it is backed up on the hard disk, click the “...” button to select the directory. It is the installation CD, just enter the CD drive letter.
Set the current system path in "Path to your already installed Windows", regardless of it, the software will automatically select.
"Add files/folders this (custom) directory to IS0" can select files or folders to be added to the ISO image (because the ISO file produced by BPEB is only about 160MB, in order not to waste disk space) , you can add other content).
