Hi Dortz, i'm new to this so may be misunderstanding...but, you say:-

...this means that the user may not use, for instance, a single license installation on one computer while simultaneously using a BartPE installation (created using that license) on another computer.
Does this not mean that you can only use the BartPE on the machine you created the disc on? (Unless of course you have a multi user license)?

Thanks for your advice so far

the important statment there is: 'Created using that liscence'

What they were referring to there was doing a 'slipstream' build. This is where you take the system files from the computer you are working on, NOT a standard, XP installation disk. If you use the OS installation disk that came with your machine, you will be able to use it on your machine legally.

If you have qualms about BartPE, I recommend Knoppix.

Thanks Dortz, much clearer.

So, so long as I use the original Install disk i'm fine. Is there a way of using the cd across many machines (ie. bailing out a different friend) doing it this way? Or is that already the case by having used the installation disk?

Aren't there some potential repercussions from using these programs?

If the program is freeware, than the only potential repercussion is that it might be illegal according to Windows to bypass their OS to change your password. But you don't need to worry about that. Nobody cares about changing your own password. So basically. . no

You should not use passwords on the os full stop!
If you've got sensitive information then it should be backed up to a personal, lockable and removable storage device.

The reason for this is that the chumps who steal computers are about as thick as a brick S#1t house!

You should install ip tracking and remote access software, allow them free and unhindered access to yous os. and more than likely track the machine down!

I hope the persons seaking to bypass passwords are not involved in skulldugery????? Watch out if you are, we'll be watching you He he he
