BartPE as a bootable USB app
November 7th, 2006PC Magazine has an interesting article on making a bootable USB key using BartPE. There are obvious benefits for having a Windows liveCD or rescue disk, but if you are hooked onto your USB drive then you’ll know the value of having everything you need on one little portable drive rather than a bunch of CDs: USB drives are readily rewritable and small. Most new computers can boot from USB drives, but you should make sure to check your hardware. I am hoping for a portable VMware Player to solve these kinds of needs, but until then a bootable BartPE USB key is cool. B.t.w. Flashboot costs around $27, so use this solution if you want it free.

Are any of these BartPE USB booting options available for Windows VISTA Hom Prem.?
I guess I would like to know before using all my time bumping up on how to have a ‘bootable’ USB drive for rescuing a system.
Thanks.
