Tell PE Builder where your Windows install files are located. Because you'll use actual Windows files to create this boot disk, you need to have a licensed copy of Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later from which to extract the source files that you'll use to build the CD-ROM or DVD. Download the latest PE Builder application file from the Nu2 Productions Web site ( load), extract it to a folder, and run pebuilder.exe to begin creating your preinstalled Windows environment image. Download PE Builder, the BartPE-creation program. The process consists of four basic steps: Think of BartPE as an actual Windows environment that lets you access a system's files and/or the network (although it's not the best tool for resetting an administrator password or hacking and/or accessing a fallen computer's registry).Ĭreating the BartPE preinstalled environment CD-ROM or DVD image is easy. A minute later, you'll have full access to the computer's files through a Windows interface. BartPE even lets you install your own third-party programs, which it calls plug-ins.Īfter you build your preinstalled environment CD-ROM or DVD, you can insert it into the fallen computer and boot the system. BartPE differs from several available Linux preinstalled environments in that it uses actual Windows programs and libraries to create a Windowsesque interface-right down to the dialog boxes, command prompt, and icons. A preinstalled environment is essentially a bootable CD-ROM that includes a robust OS and a series of recovery utilities. With BartPE, you can insert a CD-ROM or DVD into a troubled computer, boot the system to a graphical environment resembling Windows, map a network drive, and copy the system's data to a safe place on your network.īartPE is named for its creator, Bart Lagerweij, and for its function as a preinstalled environment. I'll step you through the wonderfully easy to use utility called BartPE. Several tools can help you access data from otherwise inaccessible systems. 
Maybe an ex-employee changed the passwords or locked you out of the system by some other means. Perhaps the system drive crashed or a user altered the system so that it won't boot properly.
Work as a systems or security administrator long enough and you'll undoubtedly need to access a downed Windows system.
