No kidding! I've been trying for nearly two years. Tom's had advice for AMI BIOS and Phoenix BIOS - great, but what about Award BIOS. Every PC I have access to is Award BIOS.

Bart goes thru great pains to distinguish his product from WinPE on his website <http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/>. Even Tom seems to indicate that this procedure is problematic & take from moi' it is.
