Re: [Blind-sysadmins] accessible windows pre-execution environment
You can add a driver directory to the Bart PE environment. If I can find a USB headset. I will try to make an disk image. Angelo Sonnesso M.A. M.S.

This is the approach that I thought would be most likely to work--just haven't had the time/inclination to make it happen. With some sort of USB sound integrated in, something like NVDA would probably work--at least that is my pipe dream. Matt On Thu, October 23, 2008 09:39, Angelo Sonnesso wrote:

Hi: Does Bart PE use Windows PE as its core OS or is it really making a bootable Windows XP? If the latter then I don't see why you couldn't incorporate any sound driver that works with XP. I've heard rumors that someone managed to make a bootable Windows XP using Windows XP Embeded, a version of Windows XP used in set top boxes and the like, and managed to get full sound and speech working on that. I didn't learn anymore, and I have no clue how one gets their hands on Windows XP Embeded. I have MSDN and just don't see it listed there as available to download. I'd be very interested in such a talking bootable environment as well, a lot of tools are moving or have moved from dos boot disks to Windows PE boot disks. I've used GRML, and its certainly usable for what it does, but for a primarily Windows environment having Windows tools would be nice.

Hi, Thanks. That would work for me, I've got a USB audio device that would work, or I could add in sound drivers for the cards I would use, would all be loaded or only the ones needed? Thanks.
