Im looking for a bootable media were i can recover product keys from
computers tha wont boot.I wanna be able to used it with a disc and usb
is there one out there? Are how can i make one?

I been using "produkey" but in order to retrive the key from an OS with a usb to sata
cable i have to be runing the same OS tha im trying to retrive from the hdd and i only have
windows seven .And when i tried to retrive from the same OS it doesn't work .only if im
runing it from the main machine but sometimes i get machines tha are not bootable.

Plus a bootable media would make things alot faster

Use Magical Jelly Bean Key Finder with BartPE. That should give you what you're looking for.

Also add the MassStorage DriverPack to BartPE so it will detect Sata drives. To do so look at this tutorial.

I just went though the tutorial now im guessing tha magicalljellybean is allready integrated in
BartPE are do i have to integrate tha one too im going to do this one in a couple hrs beacuse
i dont have a disk to burn my xp sp3 pro image too. it seems simple enought im just alil confused still could you create a small tutorial on how to do this for noobs like me.

The tutorial only shows how to integrate the MassStorage DriverPack,so BartPE will detect Sata Drives.

To add MJB KeyFinder to BartPE create a folder in "%:\pebuilder3110a\plugin" directoy and name it "keyfinder" [or whatever you want].
Then copy/paste the code boxes below to notepad and save them as *.inf and *.xml files as indicated below to the "keyfinder" folder you previously created.
After this just copy the "keyfinder.exe" and "keyfinder.cfg" files to the "keyfinder" folder.
Now all you have to do is have pebuilder create the bootable media.


You mean you have an .iso of "WinXP SP3" and don't have a cd to burn it to?

If you only have an .iso, you can extract its contents with 7zip to a folder on your hard drive and use that to build BartPE.


keyfinder.inf



keyfinder_nu2menu.xml

Ok when i build my barstPE with windows xphome edtion sp2
i got one warning
"warning building from an OEM version of windows can mean trouble"
Than i created the folder in the pluggin folder keyfinder and added the
tex and keyfinder just like you show me
but know im confused with MassStorage DriverPack tutorial

""Older versions of UBCD4Win previous to 3.05 install directions

Disable or remove any existing Mass Storage Drivers.
UBCD4Win came with many drivers and to avoid conflicts these needed to be disabled.

To disable the included drivers...
Create a new folder in the BartPE / UBCD4win folder called \DISABLED\ then cut and paste
the <UBCD4Win>\drivers\*.* folder(s) to the <UBCD4Win>\DISABLED folder.
You can also simply delete these folders if you wish but this would not allow you to use them later if needed.

Newer versions of UBCD4Win Include Bashrat the Sneaky's (BTS) DriverPack""

I dont see a UBCD4win folder"??

"Extract / install the DriverPacks Base program to a folder that IS NOT in your plugin folder - IE C:\DPsBase\
- We will allow the Base program to automaticaly create our plugin and related folders in your BartPE installation.
- The folder structure is key to obtaining the full functionality of DriverPacks BASE and resulting plugins from the
PEBuilder plugins page"
Does this mean the root of my C:drive??

Im a lil confused because it tells me to put files on folders tha dont exist

Hi

the instructions for ubcd4win project need some minor changes for plain BartPE

the default install directory for ubcd4win (version 3.60) is likely to be c:\ubcd4win360

while BartPE maybe c:\PEBuilder (upto user)

Bart PE does not include Bashrat the Sneaky's (BTS) DriverPack by default

If you do not have driverpack net installed you do not have to backup the old version

install driverpack base to c:\dp_base (default location)
then copy DP mass storage drivers to c:\dp_base\driverpacks

these are compressed with 7zip .7z (do not unpack the driver pack archive)

then run dps_base_1006.exe (or lattest version)

you can use Mass storage & Network drivers for XP (32bit) with BartPE & ubcd4win (option is wireless network drivers)
make sure PEBuilder\drivers\SCSIAdapter and [PEBuilder\Drivers\Net]

are empty as drivers there may clash with driverpack drivers (same names but different versions)

I'm sorry for not making things clear. This is what you'll need to do.

1. Download the DPsBase installer.
2. Before you run the installer create a folder in the root directory and name it "DPsBase" and extract the contents of the installer there.
3. Then you will have to download the latest MassStorage DriverPack via BitTorrent.
* If you wish you can also add the LAN and WLAN DriverPacks using this same procedure.
4. Once you have downloaded the *.7z DriverPack file you will copy it to the [%:\DPsBase\DriverPacks] directoy.
5. Run the "DPs_BASE.exe" program located in [%:\DPsBase].
6. Select your preferred language incase you don't want English, then click on the ">" button on the bottom to proceed, Until you get to the "Select location of platform" page.
7. Select the "BartPE" option and click the "Yes" button in the popup that will appear.
8. Then click on the "browse" button and navigate to the [%:\pebuilder3110a\plugin] directory. Click the ">" button to proceed.
9. A List of the DriverPacks will appear and the MassStorage DriverPack will be selected.
10. At this point just click the "Slipstream!" button and the DPsBase program will extract the driver files and create the DriverPacks.net plugin.
11. To verify that the plugin was created, run pebuilder and go to the "plugins" menu and look for the "# DriverPacks.net - BASE - Press <CONFIG> to enable drivers or reset DriverPacks plugins" and "# DriverPacks.net - MassStorage" plugin names.
12. Now all that is left is for you to build the bootable media.

I hope this instructions are clearer.

Warning
As mbarnes mentioned, make sure both [%:\pebuilder3110a\drivers\Net] and [%:\pebuilder3110a\drivers\SCSIAdapter] directories don't have any drivers in then, because they can conflict with the DriverPacks drivers.


Regards.

This is the last step tha im on but know i keep getting this error

Run UBCD4WINBUILDER.EXE or PEBuilder.exe and open the "plugins" page.

there should be new plugins (fig3)
"# DriverPacks.net - BASE - Press <CONFIG> to enable drivers or reset DriverPacks plugins"
- this should be set to 'NO' because it is only here to 'configure' plugins it is not part of the build.
"# DriverPacks.net - MassStorage"
- this should be set to yes to enable the MassStorage Plugin and enable the drivers for your build.

please enter a valid source path first
file C:\pebuilder3110a\i386\ntdll.dll not found

Please review this thread: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21226 Then;

BEFORE running PEBuilder add the keyfinder plugin files to it.

BEFORE running PEBuilder follow the steps for adding the DriverPacks files, Base and Mass Storage, to PEBuilder.

Run PEBuilder using your XP install CD files as your source.

Since you're not using UBCD4Win, You will open PEBuilder.exe and click on the "Plugins" button to enter the Plugins menu.



Yes, the "# DriverPacks.net - BASE" plugin should be set "No" and the "# DriverPacks.net - MassStorage" to "Yes", if that's how they appear in the Plugins menu then it's ok.




When do you get that error, is it when you close the Plugins menu or when you're attempting to build the BartPE bootable media?

Are sure you're pointing to the correct folder where your Windows XP installation files are located?

The Windows XP source should have at least SP2, but I remember you mentioned you had a Windows XP SP3 image, so as I said before extract the installation files from the image file to a folder. Preferably to the root directory, something like [%:\WinXPsp3]. Then open Pebuilder and in the section where it says "Source: (Path to Windows installation files)" click on the "..." button and navigate to the folder where installation files were extracted to.

This is what i done so far
1 I extracted my windows xp sp2 iso to a folder on my desktop called "windows xp"
than i downloaded bartsPE builder and i when ahead and pres build on media output
i choose none and this folder name "pebuilder3110a"got build on the root of my C:
drive than i follow gladiatorwarrior instructions and copy keyfinder exactly like he told me to
the plugings folder than i follow this steps

1. Download the DPsBase installer.
2. Before you run the installer create a folder in the root directory and name it "DPsBase" and extract the contents of the installer there.
3. Then you will have to download the latest MassStorage DriverPack via BitTorrent.
* If you wish you can also add the LAN and WLAN DriverPacks using this same procedure.
4. Once you have downloaded the *.7z DriverPack file you will copy it to the [%:\DPsBase\DriverPacks] directoy.
5. Run the "DPs_BASE.exe" program located in [%:\DPsBase].
6. Select your preferred language incase you don't want English, then click on the ">" button on the bottom to proceed, Until you get to the "Select location of platform" page.
7. Select the "BartPE" option and click the "Yes" button in the popup that will appear.
8. Then click on the "browse" button and navigate to the [%:\pebuilder3110a\plugin] directory. Click the ">" button to proceed.
9. A List of the DriverPacks will appear and the MassStorage DriverPack will be selected.
10. At this point just click the "Slipstream!" button and the DPsBase program will extract the driver files and create the DriverPacks.net plugin.
11. To verify that the plugin was created, run pebuilder and go to the "plugins" menu and look for the "# DriverPacks.net - BASE - Press <CONFIG> to enable drivers or reset
DriverPacks plugins" and "# DriverPacks.net - MassStorage" plugin names. This steps went good

Than i follow this steps
"plugin\DriverPacks.net\BASE" is hard-coded into the executable and must not be altered in any way.
Altering the path will create issues when upgrading or adding new DriverPacks

Run UBCD4WINBUILDER.EXE or PEBuilder.exe and open the "plugins" page.

there should be new plugins (fig3)
"# DriverPacks.net - BASE - Press <CONFIG> to enable drivers or reset DriverPacks plugins"
- this should be set to 'NO' because it is only here to 'configure' plugins it is not part of the build.
"# DriverPacks.net - MassStorage"
- this should be set to yes to enable the MassStorage Plugin and enable the drivers for your build.

When i ran PEBuilder.exe and used this as my source C:pebuilder3110a
and then i click plugins thats when i got this message

please enter a valid source path first
file C:\pebuilder3110a\i386\ntdll.dll not found

Why?? Your XP files are in:



Fix the source and see what happens.

Hi

If the XP source files are on the Desktop there will be a space in the path
c:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop

Parts of pebuilder project do not like spaces in path so move XP source to c:\xp-source or c:\cp-sp2 etc

Driverpacks base creates the driver pack plugins with correct settings so you should not enable or disable these plugins

keep on trying you will get there in the end
[provided your XP source files are standard and have not been modified by n-lite or otherwise modified (only slipstreaming of SP2 or SP3 is acceptable) ]

12. Now all that is left is for you to build the bootable media.

please let me know if this steps are correct before i start doing them.

Thank you very much for all of you alls support

Other than steps 2 and 12 I think you have it. And maybe tweak step 1 a bit.







Step 2 is where you install PEBuilder to a folder named "pebuilder3110a". And the compete path of the folder should contain no spaces, ie don't install it to your desktop. (As mbarnes has noted.)

Step 12 should be where you run PEBuilder to create your BartPE system "with my windows xp extracted files which it gets build directly on C: drive"



Step 1 should use the same naming advice noted for step 2, ie no spaces in the name. C:\Windows-XP for example. (As mbarnes has noted.)

You can also probably combine step 11 with step 12.

Ok?

Ok "Ed P"
Step 2 is where you install PEBuilder to a folder named "pebuilder3110a". And the compete
path of the folder should contain no spaces, ie don't install it to your desktop. (As mbarnes has noted.)

So what your saying here is to Make a folder on C:drive name pebuilder3110a and install pebuilder there? Is tha correct?

The BartPE folder and the Windows source folders should not have spaces in the path or folder name... you stated you placed the Windows CD files on your Desktop which has spaces in the path

OK ill makes sure there s no spaces in the folder name

It isnt' just the folder name that you must concern yourself with... the path to that folder must also not have a space in it either. it is very important to not overlook a detail such as this... You've done this previously when you were reading instructions and were asking about ones that were for another project ( UBCD4Win ) instead of just paying attention to just the BartPE instructions.... no need to cause yourself more work from simply overlooking a detail you were told about.

By default the PEBuilder Installer will create the [%:\pebuilder3110a] directory and install Pebuilder in it.





Forget about copying things to your Desktop, Just create a folder in the root directory and name it something like [%:\WinXPSource] and dump all the Windows installation files in there, then choose this folder as the Source to build BartPE.

Thank you very much everybody i finally got it.

I booted up my windows seven machine and found out tha it only works
for windows xp
Buts thats ok because i can used it on windows xp unbootable HDD's and
recovered the keys

Still thank you very much

Now is there a way to make a bootable media to recovered wins xp,vista,7
keys? all in one

If i have to make a new thread please let me know and i will

Thanks again

MJB Keyfinder does recovery the product keys of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Use the "Load Hive" option located in the Tool's Menu "Tools > Load Hive..." then navigate to the [%:\windows] directory and MJB Keyfinder should find the Product Key(s). Then once you have the product key select the "UnLoad hive..." and you're done.

It did recovered the key but it was diferent key from the one on the "OEM sticker"
i notice tha "produkey" does a good job at recovering OEM sticker product keys
from bootable HDD's how can integrate tha to my bartsPE bootable media

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

If it's a royalty oem install, the key will be different to the sticker.
AFAIK produkey is a single exe, so should be pretty easy to write a plugin for. It will give you the same key though.
For programs which can't load hives, try runscanner by paraglider.
You could also try keydecoder (might require comdlg32.ocx and MSCOMCTL.OCX)
