BartPE or "Bootable Rescue Media" for disaster recovery?
Windows XP Pro SP3
TI Home 2009
I can create or download "Bootable Rescue Media" or I can create a bootable BartPE CD containing TI Home.
What's the real difference?
Under what circumstance would one work and the other not?
Will one of them always work?
Should I re-make the recovery media whenever a new build is released (not an issue for TIH 2009, of course)?

Thanks.
I made a BartPE CD for my older machine. It has an onboard Promise FastTrak pseudo-RAID controller that I just used to get an extra IDE port, so I needed to add the drivers for it so that TIH could see that drive.
My new machine doesn't have any such useless frills, so the standard rescue CD will be fine.
Still, putting the BartPE CD together was an interesting exercise.
Since I'm holding on TIH 2009 (it works!), I won't have to be making new CDs any time soon.
