Hi all, I've been playing around with the new setup loader that comes with server 2003 sp1 (release candidate) and this opens the door to load BartPE on USB sticks through a ramdisk loader (not to be confused as the ramdrive "b:" you have in BartPE). So I've created a simple script that helps you to install it. Please check instructions below (piece from pe2usb.txt) CODE ... Installation of PE2USB: You should copy the files pe2usb.cmd and pe2usb.bin to your directory. For successful installing BartPE to a USB flash disk you need: 1) A USB flash disk with a capacity of 256MB or more 2) Server 2003 SP1 (or a release candidate). You can download this from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=02734CEA-7A4B-4D95-B220-8E1708C3ED46 This file is large, about 350MB!!! Unpack the files from the service pack (this is not installing) with: sr1sp.exe -x, lets assume you extract it to c:\server2003sp1 Create the folder \srsp1 Copy the file c:\server2003sp1\i386\setupldr.bin to the \srsp1 folder Expand the file c:\server2003sp1\i386\ramdisk.sy_ to the \srsp1 folder expand -r c:\server2003sp1\i386\ramdisk.sy_ \srsp1 You can now remove the c:\server2003sp1 folder, not needed anymore... 3) Build BartPE using pebuilder as normal, you must set the output folder to "BartPE", you do not need to generate an ISO image for now. 4) Run "pe2usb -f " to format and install the files to your UFD. Formatting is only needed the first time, so next time you can run "pe2usb " (without -f) to update the BartPE files. For successful booting BartPE from a USB flash disk you need: 1) A PC that is capable of booting from a USB flash disk with 256MB memory or more. ...
