Re: [Blind-sysadmins] accessible windows pre-execution environment
Add NIC and Drive Controller support for virtually every piece of hardware under the sun to your BartPE CD, here's how: First, get the latest collection of drivers from the DriverPacks project.(http://www.driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/) Download the LAN DriverPack and unpack it into the Drivers\Net folder in your PEBuilder directory. Download the MassStorage Driverack and unpack it into the Drivers\SCSI folder in your PEBuilder directory. There are a few drivers that have .inf files with quirks that cause errors and warnings when building your disk. To fix the issues, find the folders that seem to have missing files buy browsing the error log. Most of the missing file errors can be corrected by making a copy of a file already in the driver directory and renaming it. (For example, there are numerous instances looking for bdco1ins.dll and the actual file is named bdco1.dll.) The remaining missing files are ide/atapi related and can be fixed by copying files from your windows\system32\drivers directory, or extracting them from cabs. Once completed, PEBuilder will automatically incorporate all of these drivers into your build, giving access to virtually all hardware in existence! Well I will let you know I will get to it this weekend. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:03 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] accessible windows pre-execution environment Hi: Does Bart PE use Windows PE as its core OS or is it really making a bootable Windows XP?

Hi,
I don't believe there exists such a thing as an accessible PE environment, as I don't believe any sound is an option in such an environment.
The only thing I would try is to get an accessible Speakup disk from somewhere and boot off that, but you would be issuing commands in Linux.
Someone a while back gave me a Windows 98 disk with NTFS support on the disk (this was sort of not fully legit), but I did think if this could work, and we could either get a dos screen reader or JFW installed in that environment with software speech, it would be very nice. However, it didn't come with any sound drivers enabled out of the box, so it would have to be customised for the PC you were using it with.
Andrew.

Hello, I'm trying to clean off a laptop that has been infected with a trojan. It's an xp machine, and the trojan has replaced the lsass.exe program along with another .dll file in the windows\system32 directory. I was wondering if anyone had either an accessible copy of WinPE or BartPE environment or a way i could make it work with speech? Or, any other alternatives, a reinstall is not an option for this situation. Thanks. Dave.

Hi, So does this include sound support? I thought the PE environment didn't work with sound - not because of the driver issues, but because some of the other components to provide the sound output are missing. That is what I read in some of the forums anyway last time I tried this.
