Windows 2000 PE External links Options

[Tripo]

Hello don´t know if this is posted right.
But my question is.
does anyone or is it possible to make an liveCD of win2000 with winbuilder.
if it is posible can anyone help me doing it or explain howto do it.

At the time of the mentioned posting you taught me that Windows 2000 did not had a Pre Install environment nor it was possible to run it from a read only media and I learned and agreed.

But things have changed in the years between. You can run Windows 2000 from a read only media, from a USB drive and work your way to make it smaller.

That was the reason why I wrote this:

Why not letting a Windows 2000 PE project exist?

I haven't noticed the changes , at the time I already had it running from USB and from read only media (using the Absolute Boot), and already had a small build:

though through my "caveman" methods.

Why not, as long as you DO NOT call it PE, as to NOT generate further condusion.

@Tripo
If you are game for it, you could make use of the info I supplied at the time to Ispy, if needed drop me a PM.

Eheh.. I don't actually see them as "caveman" methods. I'm also a fan of these tools when it comes to the research and debug portion of some windows install.

The projects are just a way to quickly share the build results with other users.

Yes, it should be possible to use it comfortably with resource to the write filter from resq-ware if the author let us use his driver. The project where the driver is used remains free for the public but I haven't seen any further activity after the initial release and even tried to contact him about this driver question but he said that he'd wait a while to see how popular the resq-ware project would become before releasing the driver as freeware.

It's been well over a year now, should I try to contact the author again?

Sure , worst that can happen is him replying that times are not yet mature... I don't think that asking after one year can be considered "pushing"....

The file was several times updated.
So there is still something going on.

Out of curiosity, Res-Q-Ware:
http://www.resqware.com/
is said to work with XP SP2, and recently with XP SP3, has anyone tried it with Win2K?
