PXE bootable BartPE built from XP SP3
This entry won't be interesting for many of you but it's mainly just to tell the world that it is possible to PXE boot BartPE when it is built from an OEM installation of Windows XP Professional SP3. There are pages saying that it works with SP2 but no one has mentioned SP3. It took me most of the weekend to get it to work but that was mainly because I was new to slipstreaming and PE Builder was not uppercasing the filenames like it should. I used the excellent RyanVM Integrator to do the slipstreaming. Don't enable the "optimize" setting because this seemed to cause problems for me. Maybe it was something else in the end but I would leave it disabled to be on the safe side. I fixed the filename case problem with a quick and dirty Ruby script. Finally, as the guide states, you do still need to fetch ramdisk.sys from Windows Server 2003 SP1, as well as the other files it mentions.
