    Looking for a New BartPE w/ AHCI-GPT & UEFI Support...


    Hello everybody!

    I'm sorry if this topic has been posted earlier, I searched with no luck.

    For years I used a utility CD based on BartPE with several programs
    that allowed me to Live boot windows XP off of a CD and manipulate the
    hard drives on a computer. Since newer systems operate with AHCI/RAID
    and GPT Filetables, or UEFI Firmware instead of BIOS, my little Bart
    PE utility image has run into a compatibility brick wall!

    I am now in search of a similar utility CD, DVD, or USB image that
    will allow me to boot externally from the affected system's OS and
    manipulate the data on its drives. Can anybody recommend a utility ISO
    or USB image that will allow me to access AHCI/RAID or GPT Based
    drives? I would also like for the utility to have UEFI support and be
    able to access a network.

    Your time is extremely appreciated!

    Do a search on the web for Hirens Boot CD. Also vist the link I am posting, which is a roll your own WinPe evironment.

    Hirens is a linux solution which works for me.

    The WinPe route takes some work but I really like using it. The web site has apps already written so that you can add programs to your boot environment.
