Greetings, I have been paging through the archives and noticed a considerable amount of discussion regarding BartPE . I thought it might be worth the time to point out some of my experiences.
I have successfully created a BartPE disk with an additional collection of drivers. Currently, I use BTS Driver pack because it is the most complete collection of drivers for network and mass storage devices. It is also easy to add or update drivers. I use this set of drivers with the unattended scripts. There is even support for the application driver packages like nvidia and ATI apps to auto install. I have successfully done a standard unattended install from a BartPE CD (not using the Perl scripts or anything else from this site, just a raw or standard unattended install). I have been able to boot into BartPE via PXE. This was rather complicated but involved some moving and renaming of files, including switching of the ramdrive.sys with one from Windows 2003. I have not been able to get standard unattended installs working from this environment. I beleive that it may have something to do with the ramdrive (the install will start, and then it just sits without copying any files). You may not run into this problem, it is possible that I have too many plugins in use. I am still working on resolving this, it is probably something simple. Here are some resources that I hope will help you along: Creating a Perl plugin for BartPE http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12041 I have not tested this. PXE and BartPE I had trouble with this, but it eventually worked. I found answers within some of these links: http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/pxe.php http://xpe.collewijn.info BTS Driver Pack: http://www.driverpacks.net/ BTS Driver/BartPE plugin: Be sure to grab the 1.01 version. UBCD is build from BartPE. http://www.ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm I am sure everyone is aware of these, but here are some other helpfull links: http://www.msfn.org/ http://www.911cd.net/forums/ http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Anyway, I hope that helps.
