Bartpe: customizing the boot screen message

To get a more custom bartpe cd, you can change the boot message. Just add this to one plugin inf file:
[SetValue]
"txtsetup.sif", "SetupData", "loaderprompt", """V 1.1 Mathieu CHATEAU..."""

BartPE: including recursive folder of a plugin

If you want to include a bunch of folders and files inside a bartpe plugin, you can use this in your inf plugin's file:
[SourceDisksFolders]
files\MyFolder=Keytomyfolder

BartPE: nu2menu missing menu

you MUST have all XML tag in CAPS... i had a bad "menu" in lowercase... this one work but it will break all the later one

BartPE: inject Perc4 or Perc 5 driver inside a windows

if you want to inject a Perc 5 or Perc 4 driver inside a windows (the real one, not bartpe), i added these features to the famous VMSCSI plugin for BartPE:
http://gollum123.free.fr/fixvmscsi/

Useful to restore a server on another hardware:
-boot with bartpe
-restore with ghost or another tool
-inject the Perc5 or Perc4 driver in the windows you restored with ghost
-reboot, it's working out!

If you are restoring from another hardware (a good reason to inject different driver !), you may need to do a fixmbr : mbrfix /drive 0 fixmbr /yes

BartPE: adding LSI Dell PERC 5 driver with Windows XP Source

If you need to build a bartpe with a Windows XP source, but on a server with a Perc 5 (5/E, 5/i,...) SAS Raid server (PowerEdge 1950 / 2950), the Dell driver won't work. The CD will stop booting saying perc_sas.sys is missing.

The solution is to use the LSI logic driver that meet this chipset.
I put it here:

BartPE: diskpart nightmare

You may get "Diskpart could not complete the operation..."
this appears when using Windows 2003 SP1 or Windows XP SP2 as source.
This is due to changes to the Dcom

If using Windows XP SP2, in the plugin folder create a folder, for example "Dispart_XPSP2", and put this file inside:
http://gollum123.free.fr/diskpart_XP/diskpart.inf
be sure to have the enable set to 1

If using Windows 2003 SP1, in the plugin folder create a folder, for example "Dispart_W2K3", and put this file inside:
http://gollum123.free.fr/diskpart_W2K3/diskpartition.inf
be sure to have the enable set to 1
