BartPE on USB drive

HarryPainful · 21 Dec 2009 at 13:21

Ok, I want to set a 4GB USB pen drive that I have to boot BartPE.

I have found a few pretty detailed howtos on this and it seems straight forward, I have a question thought that I cannot find the answer for.

I already have the BArtPE disk as I want it, I can rip an ISO from it for the purpose of getting it on to the USB disk.

The howtos I have found dont talk about using an ISO though, they all seem to say "you do not need to generate an ISO image for now"

So is it possible to crack the ISO open and use the files or can I just use the ISO??

Anyone done this before?

Thanks,

Mount the ISO using something like Daemon Tools Lite - then you should be able to copy the files off the mounted drive into the USB drive

winrar can open an iso

I know how to open an ISO

I wrote the question wrong, it should be, can the extracted files from the ISO be used to create the boot-able USB stick?

you need to use, hp boot util to create a bootable disk then you copy iso image over to it..
