Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks. It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on. This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time! PE Builder is not a Microsoft product and does not create Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment ("Windows PE"). Using PE Builder does not grant you a license to Microsoft Windows PE or to use the Windows XP or Server 2003 binaries in a manner other than stated in the End-User License Agreement included in your version of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has not reviewed or tested PE Builder and does not endorse its use.

This is a utility that allows you to backup and restore Windows Vista activation for systems that are pre-installed from the factory by an OEM, allowing you to reinstall the system without having to call Microsoft. It saves the activation to a file and allows you to restore it once you've done a clean install. ABR works with Vista SP1, and on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista. How to use it: 1. Download and unzip 2. Run "activation_backup.exe" 3. Save the backup files somewhere safe 4. Reinstall Vista 5. Restore activation by running "activation_restore.exe" ABR can only be used to install the same version of Vista you have the original OEM license for. For example, if your computer came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium, you can only reinstall with Home Premium. You can, however, switch between 32-bit and 64-bit. For full instructions on the process, look at my full Clean Vista Install guide. Windows 7 Support ABR only works with Windows Vista. Because ABR is only meant to work with OEM versions of Vista, and there are currently no shipping OEM versions of Windows 7, it cannot be expected or even tested with Windows 7. There are plans to explore Windows 7 support, but there is nothing to announce at this time.

Putting the Windows 7 installation on a USB thumb drive has a few advantages - a small USB key is much more convenient for carrying around than a DVD, the OS will actually install much faster, and you can use a USB key to install Windows 7 on systems that do not have a DVD drive, such as a netbook. In fact, you can even install Windows 7 on netbooks that have fairly modest hardware. Dennis Chung, an IT Pro Evangelist at Microsoft recently posted a video demonstrating how easy it is to prepare your thumb drive and use it to install Windows 7. Here's a quick look at the process: * First, you'll need the DiskPart utility on the system you will use to prep the thumb drive. This is a free disk partitioning utility that is likely already installed on your Windows system. If not, you can download DiskPart here. * Launch the DiskPart utility by typing diskpart at the Start Menu. * Then run the list disk command to check the status of your drive. # Now run select disk 1 where the "1" is actually the corresponding number of your USB drive. # Run clean. # Once the thumb drive is clean, you can run create partition primary. # Now make the partition active by entering active # Then you need to set up the file system as Fat32 by running format fs=fat32 quick (quick, of course, specifies that you want to perform a quick format to speed up the process). # Entering the assign command gives the USB drive a drive letter, making it easy to access from Windows Explorer # Then you can copy everything from the Windows 7 installation DVD onto the USB key (a simple drag and drop will do). # Now you can insert the thumb drive into the system you want to install Windows 7 onto and boot the system. The installation will now proceed as usual - but faster.
