Bart PE All In One Options

[Nuno Brito]

I'm always open to better sugestions..

I really doubt they can be hacked so easily - since they have quite a lot of active boards to this date - and in case this event happens - there is the option to automagically restore all boards back since they are periodically cached to prevent these things..

I've successfully created bartpe cd. But how can i use this cd for addon products.Do i need to create another cd or is it possible to make changes in existed one?

Bart All In One version 1.4

Hello all, I have just completed a very useful tool that I think every one will want...assuming it doens't suck.

So Here's a screen shot of my All in One.




It sends you through the steps to create Bart PE using PE Builder, then it uses Batcher (discussed in another thread at this forum) Batcher will reduce the size of a PE directory to about 60MB (this version) then Step 3 does a set of batch files that will make it boot into ram. Step 4 is using qemu to test it, then Step 5 Burns it.

I just whipped this together, and I'm sorry I don't have time to talk about it much but download it and tell me what you think.

I have two side things to mention.
First if you skip to step 3 you can make ANY bart pe directory boot into ram, or have it take any Bart PE directory and make install on a USB device (as of version 1.3 and later)
In any case I have only one link to download at rapidshare
Any way here's the link.

I hope you all like it and don't rip me apart if it sucks, I don't work with this stuff as much as some of you.

EDIT: I moved the link to the latest version. And fixed the picture to resemble the latest version. Then I added version 1.4.

Hi nilzo welcome to the forum. I think I know what you're asking. You want to add programs and stuff to your bart pe cd you created using my AIO. It's kinda complicated. You could simply add folders your you Bart PE directory then attempt to run them after booting to bart pe, but that most likely won't work. Many things have been deleted to save space, so not all .exe files will run any more.

Also another problem with this is keep in mind the whole bartpe directory will be loaded into ram (using my AIO) so that means the more stuff you add on the more ram you'll need. On idea I've been working on to fix the second problem is to place extra programs that you don't want to be in ram in a second location on the cd.

So the answer I have for you at this moment is give it a try and see what happens.

Thank you for this great work.
I use this environment to test my bart pe compilation, without installing to harddrive.

Hi,

I've just started to use AIO1.4 and I have followed all the instructions but when I come to test it in QEMU i get the following error:-

file i386\system32\ntoskrnl.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 14.

I built the bartpe project using windows server 2003 and I used batcher to reduce the size of the bartpe project.

Does anyone know how I can fix this??

Many thanks,

David

Sorry I've never seen that error, and I've never used windows 2003 on my AIO. I've only used XP SP2 I know that there are some things that just won't work with out XP SP2 maybe this is one of those things.

I don't have much expirience on batcher but I think that some files (like ntoskrnl.ex_) are copied and not expanded . So that's why it fails to find the file. But you can use Winbuilder (Bather's "descendant") at Boot-land forums

I suggest you not to use Batcher with BartAIO

hi hooovahh,

I tested it just now and when running in QEMU, I have an error " startnet.cmd" is not recognized as an internal or external command...... Then it is going to DOS mode like "X:\i386\System32> _"
my one is 73.3 MB iso in USB drive.
Source: xp pro sp2.
Ram: 768MB
P4: 2.02GZ
Onboard Lan: Realtek RTL8139

Any idea

Thanks for your nice tool.

Yeah I have seen this it is a very common problem. You see in some versions of the AIO instead of making XoBLite the shell I would make CMD the shell, and at start up run a batch file called startnet.cmd which started XoBLite.

So you see if the startnet.cmd file isn't there to run it will simply leave you at a command prompt. By searching here (and boot land) you should be able to find out how to change the shell in a Bart PE. Keep in mind you should search for how to do it with Batcher. Batcher is very well documented at their home page and at boot land forum. You'll simply need to add like one line to the Xoblite script, I just don't know what that one line is.

I'm sorry I don't have a simply do this and it should work solution, it's just I'm at work now and I can't spend time to find the exact solution for you.

[Nuno Brito]

Any idea

This probably means you're not applying batcher's xoblite.script, I'd seriously advice to rerun this script, rebuild your ISO and check if it gets written.

You need to point your default shell to start the application you want - by default it runs cmd.exe as parameter startnet.cmd

This is the a code snippet that will write the needed registry key:

CODE

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Build\Setup","CmdLine","%PEdrive%\Programs\%ProgramName%\blackbox.exe"

Batcher's included project has been heavily modified into Winbuilder, the main difference is that no bartPE is needed and explorer is used as default shell instead of xoblite - all files are generated/copied from scratch instead of deleted from a pre-created PE environment.

Thanks to all, very quick replies.
I'll try it tonight.

Hi,

Can you upload the file again? The link is not working, RapidShare deleted the file.

TIA

Why is hooovahh classified as a Guest???

Is this an artifact from the January forum hiccup?? Can it be corrected??

hooovahh also seems to have a gmail account like myself and d4vros from last january, guess things can be corrected..

I really like this, 40 odd MB XP is cool. I would really love to have network support (for antivirus updates) and add the following PORTABLE apps.

1. Sysclean
2. Spybot
3. any Registry Cleaner
4. CCleaner

and a couple of other portables. Just a small basic bartpe with a few vital recovery apps running off a USB stick that can fix the HOST's XP filesystem.

Is there any way of adding these to the 40mb iso and if so how?

Cheers

[paraglider]

Registry cleaners are dangerous if run from PE even if they do work with runscanner. You must ensure that the drive letters in PE are exactly the same as in your normal XP otherwise you will clean registry entries that are valid.
