Does anyone know if there is a plugin available for this?

I did some searching and didn't find anything.

Thanks for any help.

I really doubt if you will find a plugin such as that type... The BartPE enviroment isn't meant to be a full fledged OS replacement, its main goals are for repair and diagnostics purposes only. While some plugins have extended the capabilities of it, it can't change the facts that the enviroment is limited.

See http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/intro/ and http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/faq/#4 for some more info on the basic scope of a BartPE build and its limitations.

I'll quote from one of the links I posted "only a subset of the available Win32 APIs is included. Included are I/O (disk and network) and core Win32 APIs. "

For an analogy... I can do some minor programming, but I am not a programmer by any means. Therefore, the project may also be considered a "minor" OS environment, we can extend it all we want but it will never be a "full" OS. That doesn't mean some of what you want isn't possible, just that it isn't what it is intended to do. Another analogy, my car can probably tow a very heavy load if I chose to do that with it, but it wasn't ever intended to do that. I don't think trying to add sound support would break it ( like my example with the car probably would ) but it wouldn't change the fact that it wasn't created for that purpose.

Thanks for your reply.

I kind of doubted it as well. But this disk has saved me so many times I thought I would give it a shot.

I build the servers for one of our clients and they have three iSCSI servers that hold the main database. Right now I use this tool with ghost on it to create images for the servers.

When I update the image for the servers I thought it would be cool if I could place the image right onto the iSCSI drive, would have a loowed me to skip a step. I could probably still do it as one of the servers has it as a network drive and I could probably map to a share on it, but we have a client that might be getting some iSCSI and they only have one server at the moment.

I haven't had a chance to play with the iSCIS much as we moved it to a hosting facilty. Later this month we are bringing everything in house which will make testing much easier.

Thanks again.
