XP USB Stick Edition

[brinky2006]

Has anybody used this version of windows to diagnose their pc?
Is it any good, or is it just spy ware?

I was thinking of trying it out by booting my lappy to it, but i just thought that I would check anybody's experiences with it first.

Thanks in Advance

Well BartPE can basically boot to XP. You can actually load the explorer shell and have a start bar, as well as My Computer on the desktop.

OK...best not talk about this topic. Apparently it's a "full" version of windows for download, which is illegal(and removed from RapidShare and such sites)

BartPE on the other hand requires to you have a windows disk of some sort.
