Super.WinPE

I have been given the above disc. It boots the system from this disc instead of Windows. What would it be used for? When I get in it by hitting F12 just as you switch the machine on it gives you options. I don`t know what to do with the options. Could I mess something up> Rodz

It's not something I know much about but this might help a little:

However, you should be able to 'play' freely with the disk without 'messing something up'. Since the disk bypasses your normal operating system, the settings within that system should remain unchanged. (Plenty of people boot the Linux OS from a disk, on a PC which normally runs Windows, with no possibility of conflicts).

here is a huge amount of info - and tools
http://www.nu2.nu/bootablecd/

PE disks are used like the old bootable floppy.
generally when your windows install packs up
you don't have a full version of windows so by using a bootdisk you get .... just enough to do the job.
the advantage is that while it uses windows files it's license free

the job is generally running a utility prog or progs.
norton's drive recovery tools, partitioning and imaging, virus scanner, undelete, password recovery ... whatever runs in windows (almost) will run ....
