Rescue Media Stick, is it Linux, RE, or PE ?

Thread solved

Hi,

I have a working bootable Rescue Media Stick that I created in late May 2020 with ATI 2020, Bld 25700. The latest folders & files on it are dated 5/28/20, although there are other folders & files dating back to 3/19, before I had ATI 2020. 

Is there a way to tell whether, in its current state, it was created using Linux, RE, or PE by looking at the files, inside the folders, by log, or some other way.

Thanks, 

Bill

Bill, yes, the contents of the USB stick should indicate whether is it either Linux or WinPE but not whether it is RE or PE as these will look the same.

One quick method to tell is to search for a boot.wim file which is only found on the PE media.

The Linux media has files similar to those in the image below:

Steve,

Evidently either PE or RE since It has the boot.wim file.

Thanks again for your help,

Bill
