BartPE is a PE environment one can create from Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 installation media. One of its uses is to recover data from a crashed system.
Although the creator of the disk argues that it is legally valid under existing copyright law exemptions for backup copies, the legal status of any such disk should be considerd dubious at best.

Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.
It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.
This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!
