In order for the MMC plugin to work, you must also enable the following plugin in BartPE’s plugin list: “RpcSS needs to launch DComLaunch Service first – SP2”. I finally found an MMC plugin that lets me run not only Disk Management, but also Computer Management with Device Manager and Event Viewer. I wanted to be able to run Disk Management from the BartPE environment so I could create partitions in a disaster recovery scenario. I’ve added some comments on UBCD4Win at the end of this article. This is a significant extension to BartPE. This article describes the changes I’ve made in order to get BartPE to boot on a variety of hardware.Īfter some time working with BartPE, a forum user suggested that I try the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows, also known as UBCD4Win. Most of the issues I’ve encountered have been resolved by adding drivers for network and disk hardware. I’ve been working with Bart Lagerweij’s BartPE (Preinstalled Environment) lately to see if I could get a reliable method for restoring partition images created by Runtime Software’s free DriveImage XML.
