petmphive bart pe issue

[meister]

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post something I found here, surprisinly I haven't found too many petmphive issues on MSFN, though I've found a bunch at http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?

Just to clarify, I'm not using a dell cd, I'm using good old fashioned Windows XP SP2 right out of the box as the source, and I'm builing Bart on a Panasonic laptop.

I like playing around with PE Builder and have successfully built many an ISO on this laptop. Then I got the idea to have an all inclusive cd and started building up my list of plugins.

I know what some might say, but just as a test I copied the plugin directory from my UBCD installation figuring I'd have one enormous amount of plugins. Then I got the dreaded petmphive error with the registry when Bart was building.

Everything I read points to a Dell reinstallation CD as the source, or it's being built on a Dell....neither apply in my case, so the only thing that's left is one of the plugins. This is where it gets strange. I not only disabled, but I removed all of the UBCD plugins, and I still get the error.

I even went as far as installing a clean new version of Bart to a different folder, and sure enough, I get the petmphive error! Obviously something was changed on my system (or the source ISO?) but I can't for the life of me figure out why.

Just wondering if anyone's encountered this? Haven't had much of a chance to troubleshoot just yet, but I'll be back..

Thanks
