Is it possible to make a bootable CD with a Win interface
I have a copy of Windows Media Center Edition 2005, but it only installs from a windows environment. It's not an upgrade, as it lets me install the system fresh on my slave drive OR upgrade on the master drive. Problem is, I'd like to install on my primary drive when it's clean, as Win XP is fugging up my combo of All-in-Wonder 9800Pro and HDTV Wonder with outdated drivers before MCE 2005 gets in there and sets it up [ostensibly correctly]. Is there any way to create a bootable CD that I can use first, then run the Setup from the MCE installation disc, leaving the HD clean until MCE is introduced?

Here's a couple of listings I found when I googled Bartpe. We use a customized disk here at work that works like a charm.

I'd go with Linux and MythTV if I were building a PVR though. oh and here's a helpful site for everything related to PVR building: http://www.byopvr.com/ |

I mean, I thought I was fairly cordial the first time around, when I pointed out that it was a multipurpose machine and I just wanted info on a bootable winCD, not a sales pitch for a dedicated PVR PC. |

In a pinch, a run-of-the-mill soda can can be used to make a decent single-hitter.
Push a small indention into the can near the bottom, opposit the tab-side. Using a knife, poke a couple of small holes into the aluminum in the indention. Fill, light, draw from tab opening. Viola... you're... umm... hungry... need... eyedrops... errr, what was I talking about? |

If you're gonna whine like a little bitch when you don't like the advice you get on an internet forum, stop asking for advice on internet forums.
