External Hard Disks Part 3
by Pierre Boisvenue. 24/05/2007 2:23:26 PM
Let me tell about a little miracle called BartPE. This little program is a must
have in your toolbox. Imagine being able to boot to windows XP SP2 from a single
CD. Yes BartPE allows you to do so and with the help of plugins to extend the XP
environment. If your recall in part1 and part2 I discussed about the need for me
to be able to ghost my entire hard drive via an external USB device. Now I’ve
attempted several techniques presented on the web to load a USB driver from a
DOS boot disk without success until I found out about BartPE.
The nice part of BartPE is that it’s free and you simply required to have your
copy of windows xp and a blank CD or CD-RW. If you system depends on external
SATA drivers your will required to load them up during the BartPE loading
process via a Floppy(F6) or simply include them in the pre build environment of
BartPE.
Now that Windows XP support USB device means that my SFAP(Seagate Free Agent
Pro) is visible from the BartPE Windows XP environment.
