Most people won't need to use this method, but it does have its advantages, such as creating images and doing Copy Drive from the Preinstalled Environment.
See my #14 reply. The Reatogo program has changed.
Instructions for making a BartPE CD which includes the Ghost 9 pluginHere is the main BartPE (
Preinstalled
Environment) web page which explains the PE Builder concept, but we will not use this page for making our CD.
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/You will need a WinXP SP2 CD or an i386 folder (containing Windows setup files) in your C: drive . Ghost 9 must be installed on your computer.
If you don’t have a SP2 disc, see AutoStreamer in Step 1 of the following web page:
http://www.reatogo.de/BartPE/FEATURES/BartPE+XPE_in_5_minutes.htmFrom the above page:
In Step 2 download “ReatogoPE” (which is reatogo-313-103-a.exe)
Then click “software plugins with autoHelp” and download the following two files. “Getting_Started.exe” and “autoDriver for disk and network drivers” which is at the bottom of the page (autoDriverBETA-1.exe).
Place reatogo-313-103.exe in the root of your C: drive ie C:\ reatogo-313-103-a.exe
Double click reatogo-313-103-a.exe and follow instructions. This will create a folder called “reatogo-313-103-a”
Delete the file reatogo-313-103-a.exe
Copy “Getting_Started.exe” to the plugin folder ( C:\ reatogo-313-103-a\plugin )
Make sure you are on the internet.
Double click Getting_Started.exe and follow instructions. On the Download autoHelp plugins page,
Type 45, (x_ghost9) Enter
Type 38, (USB+1394) Enter
The folder C:\reatogo-313-103-a\plugin\USB+1394_autoHelp opens. Double click !autoHelp_USB+1394.cmd
Close the Wget window.
Open the “x_ghost9_autoHelp” folder.
Double click !autoHelp_ghost9+dotNET.cmd
Type 1, Enter
Copy and paste your Ghost 9 serial number, Enter
Skip the next five paragraphs if you don’t need network or storage drivers. If you are planning to use a network you will need network card drivers. Then you can write an image to another computer or restore an image stored on another computer.
The easiest way to obtain drivers is to use autoDriverBETA-1.exe which you have downloaded. Unzip the file to your plugin folder. Double click autoDriverBETA-1.exe. Make sure the Detection Mode is Network Drivers. Click Detect Drivers. Tick those detected. Click Create Driver Plugin. Don’t use the Storage Drivers mode. It causes a fatal error in the CD operation (on my computer. It may work on yours).
An alternative way to add drivers is to open the “help” folder and double click drivers.htm. This will explain how to do it. You can add drivers for adapters in other computers if you intend to use the CD in other computers.
If you only intend to use the CD in one computer then drivers for your other networked computers aren’t needed. You can also add storage drivers now or Press F6 during the boot process to add your SATA drivers.
The computer containing the BartPE CD must be cabled to your router but other computers on the network can be wireless.
Insert your Win XP SP2 disc into the CD drive.
Open the main C:\ reatogo-313-103-a folder and double click pebuilder.exe
For Source: choose your CD drive or if you don't have a WinXP CD, the folder which contains the i386 folder
Leave Output as BartPE
Put a tick in Create ISO image
Don’t tick Burn to CD as it produces an error later (on my computer. It may work on yours).
Click Build
It takes a few minutes depending on the speed of your computer.
Burn pebuilder.iso to a CD (R or RW) using your favourite prog. It must be burnt as an image, not a Data CD, Boot CD or CD-ROM (ISO). In Nero choose Recorder, Burn Image. All burning progs should have an option to burn an image.
Boot to your new CD, press F6 if you need to load SATA drivers (if you didn’t add them to the SCSIAdapter folder). BartPE takes several minutes to load and loading is finished when the Start Menu opens.
Your USB external HD can be hot plugged if desired.
If you need to map a Network Drive, open My Computer, click Tools, Map Network Drive. Don’t click Browse. In the Folder field, add your network share as \\ComputerName\share. Enter your Username and password when prompted.
Double click “Start Ghost9”
Ignore the “Fatal Application Exit” balloon as it’s just the AutoRamResizer being disabled.
Accept the licence agreement. Right click and paste your serial. Unlock.
Click Cancel for “optional registration”.
Double click “Start Ghost9” again.
It’s ready to go.
