hello again,
your computer runs windows 7 professional to make a PE bootable CD which has wired networking capabilities do the following:
To make a bootable windows 7 CD
go to system and security >Back up and restore
in back up and restore dialog box from the left side choose:
create a system recovery disc
follow the on screen instructions
put an empty CD-R in the drive showing .
in 5 minutes you got a PE bootable windows7 disc which also has system restore facility
or simply type :

ps
I have an old computer with XP and 7 on different partitions .
the repair (WIN7 PE)CD which I got from above was not booting .
so I copied and pasted the content of CD to an empty ISO folder in WAIK
and made a fresh ISO
and that booted OK.
just thought i mention that !!
I am not too happy about the way Win 7 handles drivers every thing has to be done
through windows update .
it is difficult to force a driver say from vista driverstore on to windows 7
Win 7 PE is not as reliable booting as Reatogo XPE boot CD into different computers.!!
