Create Windows PE 1.0 with custom tools

This tutorial explains how to Use BartPE to create Windows PE 1.0 with cutom tools.

Another very nice project based on Bart's PE and includes a lot of plugins is UBCD4Win and the process is the same

1. Download BartPE from http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

2. There is a nice video explaining the basics in http://www.youtube.com/embed/0reKK2ASEaU

3. We also recommend to use DriverPacks to get NIC and storage support

4. When using BartPE it is recommended to use Windows Server 2003 SP1 and above or you'll need to replace ramdisk.sys

In order to replace ramdisk.sys:

- Copy BartPE output into SDI image file.

- Copy ramdisk.sy_ to /tftpboot from the Windows Server 2003 SP1  - i386 folder.

- Expand ramdisk.sy_ ramdisk.sys

- Move and Replace /tftpboot/ramdisk.sys to i386/system32/drivers/ramdisk.sys

Windows PE is ready, now we need to pack it within SDI file:
