Solve : DOS and winPE help?

Answer»

Hi,

I have a licensed XP SP2, but when I booted up from the winPE disc,
I could only saw a DOS screen INSTEAD with the following messages:
...You are permitted to remove this paragraph from the startnet.cmd, provided that you
acknowledge and agree to the foregoing statements...
It's weird that I can't SEE any graphical user interface in winPE!?
The winPE,which I got from a close friend, is about 190MB in file size.

A lot more info is needed.
From where do you have this WinPE disc?
Have it worked in the past?
Why are you trying to boot to a WinPE disc?

Hi Deerpark,
It's my first time using a winPE.
I think the winPE is a ok one, becoz I can use the DOS command to copy a file from Drive C to Drive E.
But the problems are that it doesn't provide any GUI, only DOS appears; and
it can't recognize any external device either. SO, I have no idea how to copy those important files in the corrupted PC to
my USB HDD.It probably doesn't have any USB drivers loaded.
If you want a WinPE disc for recovery purposes I suggest you check out UBCD4Win. The sites gives you the tools needed to create your own XP live CD with loads of recovery tools. I would rate it as an essential tool for anyone who needs to fix a broken windows installation.Quote from: Deerpark on January 24, 2008, 11:33:52 AM

Many THANKS, Deerpark!
But I don't have any XP installation discs, they only gave me two XP recovery discs.
Yeah you will need a real XP install disc in ORDER to built UBCD4Win.
The easiest way to get files on a computer with a corrupted windows installation is to remove the hard drive from the computer and install it in another one as a slave. This way you get easy access to the files.
Another option is to download a Live CD version of a Linux distribution.
This gives you a complete operating system on a CD without having to install anything.
Ubuntu is a pretty good choice, it has native NTFS support, a huge driver library, and is easy to use.
