HoppaLong Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (I'm very aware of that "other" forum that specializes in BartPE.They are having major problems of some sort. When I loginsuccessfully I can't post. By the time they fix whatever is wrong,the earth may stop revolving on its axis!)XP Pro_SP3BartPE v3.1.10aDiskDirector v10.0.2160I downloaded a file from Acronis with the procedurefor creating a DiskDirector plugin for BartPE. The instructions I downloaded are similar to this kbarticle:http://kb.acronis.com/content/1752When I loaded DiskDirector I was prompted for a password.I never created a password when the app was installed.The next thing I tried wasn't logical, but sometimes dumbsolutions work with Windows.I created a simple password and tried it a few times to makesure it worked. I changed the string value in DiskDirector.infand copied a fresh set of files into the BartPE plugin directory.After burning another CD I ran DiskDirector again. It rejectedthe password, even though it worked fine in the "real" XPenvironment.I'm trapped in a classic Catch-22 situation (dog chasing its tail,etc.). The app prompted for a password when none existed, andrejected a password that should have worked when I burned thereplacement CD. I don't know enough about BartPE to resolvethis problem. Is there a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 If you need BartPE just to run Disk Director, why don't you simply use Disk Director?It is one of the. iso images directly mappable with grub4dos:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showforum=66http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5041http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...c=5041&st=3jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoppaLong Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Acronis True Image and Disk Director have always had an appletthat created boot disks. In the eary days of these apps it was donewith floppies. When I created bootable CDs for both apps I gotan error message. I found out that lots of folks who had XP Prowere having problems booting from these disks. I can't rememberthe exact error message. It has something to do with the XP kernel.I had never heard of BartPE until someone suggested that PE Builderwould allow you to run almost any app from an XP environment,without actually booting into the system. I like that idea a whole lot!Boot disks have always caused problems. If I can resolve this problemwith BartPE, I won't have worry about the reliability of my boot disksin an emergency.
