| > it's a shame you can only make bootable Windows USB disks using the enterprise editions I remember in the Windows XP era, there was a third-party piece of software called BartPE. With BartPE you could create a preinstalled environment with WinXP Home even. Here is a page someone wrote with some details about BartPE: http://www.optimizingpc.com/miscellaneous/manual_bartpe.html Wikipedia: > As with Windows Preinstallation Environment, BartPE operates by loading system registry files into RAM, and not writing any registry changes back to boot media. Thus, neither operating system requires an operational hard drive or network access. This also allows them to be run from non-writable media such as a CD-ROM. > […]. The Bart PE Builder application interprets and condenses files from a Windows setup CD to create the BartPE installation. It can built from a Windows XP Pro or Home Edition CD, or from a preinstalled Windows XP version (without a CD). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BartPE |
