This is what I call miniPE, a namesake taken from PEBuilder & BartPE (do a Google search to learn more about those), and inspired by Michael K.H. Au-Yeung's series of awesome bootCDs (Super WinPE, ERDC, PQRE 2003 All-In-One CD and Super WinPE Plus 2004 Multi-Bootable All-In-One CD). I call mine miniPE, because I have set the criteria that, all the apps must fit on a miniCD (8cm). I use 210MB Memorex CDRWs and they have served me well, updating the VirusDefs almost daily. I have found this to be a valuable tool in my arsenal of toolkit utilities - I think you may like it too.

This CD is meant to "autoboot" meaning that when the CD is placed in the tray, and your computer is rebooted or turned off/on, the system will boot to the OS located on the CD. You may have to change some BIOS settings if your computer does not look to the CD before the HD for system booting.
