Hello I'm trying to setup BartPE, but I have a problem, I'm forced to use my laptop which has windows 7 and I have an E drive for cd/dvds, since I can't boot up my desktop (it has the windows system32 error) and I refuse to format, so that's why I downloaded BartPE. I'm currently trying to setup BartPE and the only problem stopping me from fixing my desktop is that whenever I'm trying to build the BartPE cd, there is this error "Invalid source path (cannot find I386\i386\setupldr.bin.)

To slipstream your files do the following:

1. Copy all files from your Windows XP installation/setup CD-Rom to your harddisk. For example you can copy it to the folder c:\winxpsp. Make sure you copy all files and all subdirectories! You should now have a file called c:\winxpsp\i386\setupldr.bin. If not go back, you did something wrong.
The location of the i386 folder may differ, for example when you have a dual boot MSDN cd-rom it will be in \%lang%\winxp\%edition%, where %lang% is your language, like "ENGLISH", "GERMAN" and %edition% is "Home" or "Pro". Other CD's may have it just in the root or in some other location.
2. Apply service pack to your files using the "-s" option (you must supply full path).
xpsp1_en_x86.exe -s:c:\winxpsp

Now use the folder c:\winxpsp in PE Builder as the path to your installation source files.
