How to Create a Very Nice "Administrator's Toolkit" - Step 8: WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment - Modified BartPE)
1. Get PEBuilder at http://www.nu2.nu
2. Add whatever you want to it, but the total size of the ISO should not exceed ~370mb or so (Very Important)
3. Build the ISO.
4. Extract the contents of the I386 and PROGRAMS folders from the ISO to the same folders under Admin
5. Copy the the contents of the I386 folder under Admin to the IRAM folder.
6. Open the TXTSETUP.SIF file in the IRAM folder.
7. Search for minint and once found add a space and then /inram to the end of that line. Save file and exit.
8. The /inram switch in WinPE + SP2 needs at least 320mb of memory if you're going to run explorer as your shell.
9. Here's a couple of pics of my WinRE (Modified BartPE) to show what is possible:
My Boot Screen (Press F8 at boot prompt)
The Loading Screen (You can set the text in the pebuilder.inf file)
My PELock Logon Screen. It is loaded before anything else in the RunOnceEX section of the registry
Running a batch that installs file
sharing (intuitive start command right? :) ), starts the Server service for file
sharing, starts the Eventlog service,
sets a password for the Administrator
account, shares out the CD-ROM, and enables the Parallel/COM Ports.
My PE Desktop Loaded with Explorer as my shell (Modified this-is-me's explorer plugin) and a fair amount of programs
