with you started to hear Windows PE? It is short for Windows Preinstallation Environment. It can be used to make a set of Windows XP that can be booted from a CD. The file size is only over 100 MB. Don't look small, but the function is unambiguous. It is based on the Windows XP kernel, can read and write FAT32/NTFS format partitions, can access the network, and also has a graphical interface, which is very suitable as an emergency platform after a system crash. However, only authorized users of Microsoft can use it. This article is about another similar free tool, Pebuilder, which can also make CD xp booted by CD.

(2) Select "Create ISO image (Enter a filename)", followed by clicking the Browse button, specify the save location and file name of the ISO file to be created. Dear friends may have seen it, the role of this small software is actually to extract some of the files in the Windows XP installation CD, and then generate an ISO file, through this ISO file to achieve the windows xp CD boot.
(3) "Burn to CD": If you select this option, you can directly burn to the disc, but I do not recommend you to do so. Because, if you make a mistake, you can't modify the contents of the disc.
(4) Click "Plugins", choose a number of enhancements of the plug, as shown in FIG. After selecting a plugin, specify whether it is needed by clicking "Enable/Disable". If the status is "Yes", it means the plugin has been added, otherwise it will not. In order to make the final boot CD more robust, it is recommended that everyone can add it, especially the "Simplified Chinese Support" is essential. If it is not, it will be garbled after startup. After the plugin is set, click "Close" to return to the main Pebuilder interface.

CD burning process, I will not repeat them here. Start your computer with the one you just burned, and it will automatically set up network-related options for you first, as shown in Figure 4. Use the default value and you can press Enter all the way. After the full startup interface is shown in Figure 5, I have shown some of the functions in Figure 5. FIG
five
1. Command Prompt DISKPART
This is a very useful command-line tool, which functions almost disk management windows 2000 /XP /2003 under, but the command-line tool can be expansion of the partition and ensure lossless data, Even similar to the function of the partition magician. More importantly, if Windows Server 2003 is installed, the normal version of the partition magic can not run, DISKPART can manage the partition, so it is not difficult to understand that Windows Server 2003 no longer provides support for the partition magic is justified.
2. For each hard disk partitions read
we all know, Windows system files if an error can not be started, especially with the NTFS format partition windows 2000 /XP /2003 systems, it is more difficult to repair, Even if you can just do a DOS boot disk to boot the computer, but read the NTFS format partition to load NTFSPro and other tools. Windows XP booted with this CD can easily solve this problem.
After booting from the CD, you can delete the database file related to the login password. I believe that with this set of CD-ROM system, the problem of how to clear the password on the forum will be greatly reduced.
There are still many other functions, please use it yourself. In general, its function is very powerful, but the usage is not simple, mainly in the management and addition of the plug-in or self-editing, so that the most basic functions can be realized when everything uses the default settings.
