CODE

# PE Builder changes (from v3.1.10 until v3.1.10a)

Bugfix release
  PE Builder would report, File
  "C:\pebuilder3110\BartPE\i386\system32\NTOSKRNL.EXE" not found, on some older
  windows versions.

Changes to pebuilder.exe:
- After building, PE Builder checks if files required for booting BartPE are
  missing. The messages printed about missing files should have been warning
  messages, but they where error messages. Changed them to warning.
- The pre-flight check did not work OK for server 2003 (with no SP) and
  Windows XP with SP1, this has been fixed.

Did any plugins change, or just the program? Could I install the new version, erase the entire plugin folder, and copy my PE Builder v3.1.10 plugin folder back?

Just the program, pebuilder.exe has changed.

Will you also update the Firefox web browser plugin to version 1.5.0.1?

Sherpya has already made available a brilliant Firefox 1.5.0.1 plugin (integrating the latest Java, Acrobat, Flash, etc). I've been using it and works perfect.

[Bart Lagerweij]

Awesome program, please continue with the regular updates. Will you also update the Firefox web browser plugin to version 1.5.0.1?

Yep, will update when time...

It takes me hours to move my stuff from one peb3.1.X version
onto another high version. Anyway, I do this to be
sure that the new peb version burn me a better and stable
BartCD that wont write a bit on any HD (except the RAM drive),
etc... but for each new peb version, I got more problems.

HELP

On bootable BartPE CD, created by using peb3.13 or 3.14-beta:

:-)
OK, work almost fine.

==================================

On bootable BartPE CD, created by using peb3.19:

:-)
The USERPROFILES folders are created on RAM drive, "B:\Documents and settings\...".
Hmmmm, maybe ok for some reasons, but a bit annoying its now not in English.
Supporters using English, users using whatever along with Explore and
adventures/rubbish in other languages).

:-(
App for burning do NOT work:
Nero5
Nero6
DeepBurner
ExpressBurner
Small CD Burner

==================================

On bootable BartPE CD, created by using peb3.1.10a:

:-(
Only one app can be open.
If another app is open, Nu2menu wont work.
Programs freezing.
Most programs wont start.
The USERPROFILES folders is not created on the RAM drive B.
The A43 app said that "X:\Documents and settings\..." do
not exist (drive X is the CD).
The right click option is gone.

In other words, you sit and stare.

==================================

A question:

On a PC that Im now working on, I have to include a
disk driver for a "ATA Maxtor" on Asus M.Board. I got the
Asus CD (A7V880). I think that I can find a driver on that
Asus CD. The problem is that my BartPE CD (used peb3.19)
can not see the drive C. So I can't support that PC with
any recover tools. So I think that I can put a
ATA driver on a floppy, BUT the BartPE CD maybe not responding
on F6 key while booting?

PS: WinXP Pro SP2
1024 MB RAM. My BartPE CD is using 64MB RAM drive B.

BTW: Maybe the burning problems on BartPE created with peb3.19
is cause of enabled dos16, or another plugin that I
disabled previous in peb314-beta ?

[Former_mpsan_post]

I saw a fix for my problem and now can not find it any more.

I just got 3.1.10a and still have the same issue with it not creating the ISO because I get a setupreg.hiv access denied error.

I saw that there was a fix (rev to make it upper case, but now can not find it.

Can someone point me to it, or can I patch this in an INF somewhere to make it upper case?

TIA

These problems al sound very strang and I think you should try a "bare" BartPE, thinks like nu2menu and deepburner should work perfect (don't eject the booted CD!)...

Yes, you can use the F6 key to add driver by floppy (a:)

Just added the v1.5.0.1 version to the firefox page.

Will remove v1.5 when the new version is OK.

Well, for the first time ever I created a BartPE ISO. I logged in to my ADMIN account. I have admin on my user account but it must be loading something that pebuilder does not like.

I just thought I would follow up on my previous post.

What is the recommended approach for updating from 3.1.3 to 3.1.10a? A straight install of 3.1.10a over 3.1.3 or install 10a into it's own folder and copy the 3.1.3 plugin folder over the 3.1.10a plugin folder? Or....?

[SteelTrepid]

If you copy over your plugin folder from 3.1.3 on top of 3.1.10a you will overwrite files that have been updated.

If you install 3.1.10a on top of your 3.1.3 you could lose some of your customizations.

I always compare the files and versions. It's tedious and take some time but I then know what all has changed.

[krash_silver]

I guess I may asking some silly question here...I'm just a newbie here in BARTPE and I'm really confuse afterall the cd I built and seem like cant work at all... Hope guys may sort out this for me..

1. What is SLIPSTREAMMING?
2. what it is doing ?
3. it is necessary to do this while my PC is using the XP SP2? I only run the build without the Slipstreamming.

after went through few of the forum and they kinda emphasize on da Slipstreamming thingie and I;m just wondering what is that and is it important steps.

Besides, any website to browse through to understanding more on the slipStreaming in BARTPE??


Another question here, is BARTPE allow us to do like, Full Image or Partition or thing like how the WinPE is?? because I plan to store a image.ghost in the BARTPE folder/ISO and hope it runs the image when the 1st boot in nother pc. (some sysPrep and hd mounting has been done) and is good that if it loads the image file. Any recommendation?

Anyway, I'm still trying to build a runable BARTPE to be install in another PC. *Cross Finger* Hope it works this time using 3.1.10a

Slipstreaming is integrating a service pack or hotfixes into an install disc. Since you have a SP2 source, you don't need this functionality. It was for SP1'ers to upgrade to SP2 source. Hope that helps. Sorry, I can't help you with Ghost.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation SteelTrepid. This is my 1st upgrade and when I look at the two folders it's scarey the number of differences. There's got to be an easier way, at least for the plugin folder. Need some kind of a cmd script to automate the process.

Thank for that... btw, I'm still trying out and hope I can really understand what I am doin. haha ..thank anyway..

Hi, any idea of this Error Code, NTOSKRNL.exe is not loaded, and Error Code is 4....

I saw most the post up is mention about the Error Code is 14, and it is odd where I got the error code as 4...DO you guys have any idea of this ??

[Ed_P]

See posting here.

@Ed_P

an easy way to update is put any plugins that you change or add in a subfolder under plugins
just remember some plugins need to be run in a certain order to overwrite others

then when a new pebuilder comes out move your subfolder to the new folder and compare the changes to any you have changed

[Ed_P]

@CWorks

put any plugins that you change or add in a subfolder under plugins

Thanks CWorks.

In that all plugins are in a subfolder under plugins by definitions could you explain that a little further? Are you saying to create a plugin called Eds and then put all my plugins in it? Or under it? How would that work enabling them?

I tried to keep mine separate by making the 1st letter a cap but then I also have original plugins that I have mod'ed but didn't rename. Plus I have a bunch of cmd files I've created and things like FolderSort and SortMenu and personized wallpaper and support utilities like wget and PEReg and etc. The folder kinda got out of control.

[CWorks]

just create a folder under plugins and put any changed or added plugins in it (the folders)
and yes some things may break

pebuilder will still find and show them in plugins list
and sortmenu works on the output folder doesn't it
FolderSort should still sort them i think
don't know if it's recursive or not

any tools you use can be added to the path by just putting them in sys32
or do what i do and create a folder and put any tools in it and then add the folder to the path
in system properties under advanced tab choose "environment variables" and then dble click PATH and add it to the end by adding a semicolon and then the full path like this
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT;C:\syscmd

won't take effect until a reboot
but then you can call them from anywhere
