Thank you for all the latest !

I've been tryin' to unhinge from MS for years, so all I have is really 
old stuff, i.e. Win95/NT4.0  :-(     i.e. no 98, XP, 2000, etc....

Anyway, I'll file your info away in case all else fails.

Cordially,

Courtney

&gt;&gt;   Title = &quot;Windows XP Live CD&quot;
&gt;&gt;   Snippet = &quot;... PostPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2005 4:19 pm Post subject: 
&gt;&gt; Windows XP Live CD ...  idea how to do this, but with the help on the 
&gt;&gt; page I built the Win XP Live CD ...&quot;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; (unfortunately I can't verify anything right now)
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; The page above is is about BartPE.
&gt;

&gt; 
&gt; BartPE is a utility for creating a bootable Windows XP/2003 CD. I have 
&gt; been creating custom versions of BartPE boot disks for some time. We use 
&gt; it for Ghosting windows servers, workstations, and laptops across 
&gt; subnets. Ghost Server can create boot floppies that will work across 
&gt; subnets but only if you have a Wins server and DHCP. Also Ghost floppies 
&gt; can only have one network driver and there aren't any DOS drivers for 
&gt; some of the server raid arrays and laptop network adapters.
&gt; 
&gt; With BartPE I was able to add drivers for network and raid controllers 
&gt; used in all our workstations, servers, and laptops. Now we can Ghost all 
&gt; our machines across subnets or to USB drives using one boot CD, and I 
&gt; don't need Wins. Whooo Hooo, sorry, it's just that I hate Wins.
&gt; 
&gt; It should be possible to create a BartPE CD with the BIOS update 
&gt; software installed. If the BIOS update utility is just an executable and 
&gt; doesn't require installation then it's even easier. This would allow 
&gt; booting from CD and flashing the motherboard BIOS Without having to 
&gt; install Windows on your Linux box.
&gt; 
&gt; The only downside is that the BartPE utility will only run under Windows 
&gt; 2000, XP, or 2003.
