Not too long ago, I decided to install my bartpe onto a usb flash drive, as most modern pc today are capable of booting from usb devices, and in the process I thought of making it a dual boot with one of my favorite distros (Backtrack3) so for this tutorial we will go over the process of installing UBCD4win and Backtrack3 onto a usb flash drive in this case I use a 2Gb Sandisk. What is UBCD4win? well, is an application that is used for installing bartpe(bart preinstalled environment) on to a cd or usb flash drive from a windows xp install cd, very useful for repair and maintenance task. It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800×600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on. Here you can find a complete list of tools that will be already built in your bartpe install . You can think of bartpe as a cut down version of windows xp. Read the rest of this entry »
