Bart's PE Builder v3 plugin
Image for Windows by TeraByte Unlimited.
Please note that using Image for Windows (IFW) in the BartPE environment is not officially supported.
NOTE: This plugin will enable Image for Windows to create a bootable CD even on a PC with a single CD-R/RW drive
Instructions for installing the Image for Windows Single CD-R/RW plugin:
If you have not already done so then download and extract the Bart's PE Builder distribution.
For this plugin to operate correctly, the RAMDisk Plugin must also be present and configured for at least 5MB of RAMDisk.
Extract the contents of the IFW plugin to the plugin folder that was created in step 1 above.
The IFW plugin files should end up in the folder plugin\ifw.
If you already have Image For Windows installed on your PC then go to the next step.
Download and install Image For Windows.
Copy the IMAGEW.EXE and CDBOOT.F35 files from the Image for Windows installation directory to the plugin\ifw\files directory.
If you have not purchased IFW and therefore do not have a User Name and Key then omit this step.
If you have purchased IFW and have been supplied with a User Name and Key then you can get IFW to read them from a file every time it starts up. This saves you having to type them in each time.
Open Notepad type in your IFW user name on the first line, and your IFW key on the second line as shown below.
User Name XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Save the file as plugin\ifw\files\imagew.key and exit Notepad.
NOTE: Using an imagew.key file will only work with IFW version 1.06c and above.
If you would like your preferred IFW settings to be loaded when IFW starts then open Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeraByte Unlimited\Image
In the right pane of Regedit, notice the Settings value. Under the Data column for the Settings value, you will see a hex value, followed by a decimal value in parenthesis, e.g. 0x001e0007 (1966087)
In plugin\ifw\ifw.inf, find the [Software.AddReg] section, and manually type the hex value displayed in Regedit into the appropriate location. Using the example above, you would have the following in the [Software.AddReg] section:
0x4, "TeraByte Unlimited\Image", "Settings", "0x001e0007"
Do not change the 0x4, "TeraByte Unlimited\Image", "Settings", portion of the string; just modify the hex value at the end. You will also need to remove the leading semicolon from that line for it to be active.
If you would like Image for Windows run automatically when you boot into the BartPE environment then remove the leading semicolon from the following line in plugin\ifw\ifw.inf:
;files\autorun_ifw.cmd=2,,4
That's it! Build and burn the ISO file as usual. If you need a utility for burning the ISO file to CD, try TeraByte Unlimited's free BurnCDCC utility.
