Using Bart’s PE Builder to Make an Anti-Spyware and Rescue CD
Sometimes a Windows install can get corrupted or compromised in such a way that it’s hard to correct without removing the hard drive and using another computer and Operating System to fix it. Bart’s PE Builder is a free tool that allows you to create a bootable Windows CD or DVD from an existing install CD of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. This Windows boot CD runs a cut down version of XP, with network, gui and FAT/NTFS/CDFS file system support. Since you can run Windows applications from this boot CD it’s a useful tool for fixing various problems on Windows 2000/2003/XP/9x system that can not easily be fixed while booted from the copy of Windows on the hard drive. The company Winternals makes a similar tool called ERD Commander, but it costs $149 to $299 and lacks the third party plugin support that Bart’s PE Builder has. By using the PE Builder Plugins that others have created you can easily add software to your bootable CD to do all sorts of tasks.
