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?

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.

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:


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.


The wiki is a good point of reference to get started..

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

Thanks Nuno Brito.

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??

Try the author's google page: http://hooovahh.googlepages.com/BartAIO1.4.7z

------------------

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

Thanksssssss

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

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.

Sorry I've been away for a little while. Thanks for monitoring the place.


Yes this was one of those hiccups. As you can probably tell my number of posts were reset some time ago. On top of that all my previous posts have become guest posts, so I can't search for them. Oh well I'm okay with it. The only thing I don't like is I can't edit my old posts, so I can't update the first post in this thread to have new mirrors like the one at google pages.

I also have an alternate mirror for my version 1.4 here http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/297977_l.../BartAIO1.4.zip

I do however highly recommend using some other program to make a minimal BartPE like this. Winbuilder is an amazing tool which has now rendered my AIO obsolete. Winbuilder has been talked about here, but their main forum is here http://bootland.pt.vu/

As I'm sure many of you know development for my AIO has stopped some time ago, mainly because of programs like winbuilder. If you see the need to add more software to my AIO I say good luck, it's not as simple as a normal BartPE since the batcher step removes many .dlls that are useful for some programs, but none that are in the AIO. The point being if you simply add an executable to the iso odds are it won't run properly.

The download link in the first post is not working. I just tried it, and it sent me to a page on RapidShare where it said "File not found!".

You should read the posting just above yours.

Just read it, but the alternate mirror doesn't work either. I can't find the program to download on that page. Was it later removed?
So development on the program stopped?
That sucks...

Let's say it's "on hold indefinitely" .

See here:
http://z3.invisionfree.com/Boot_Land/index...opic=14&hl=

The link on googlepages is still OK.

There is/was a more recent version, 1.5a, that was however a preliminary Alpha and shortlived:
http://z3.invisionfree.com/Boot_Land/index.php?showtopic=19

As hoovah himself pointed out, the development of Winbuilder as a successor of Openbuilder, who was the successor of Batcher has made the project obsolete.
