Hello

I've never really used BartPE until now, and would like to know whether some tool is available to create a bootable live image of Windows7 with enough drivers to support basic VGA and most common Ethernet/wifi chips that I could use to build a bootable USB keydrive.

I need this as an alternative to the numerous Linux live distros, so I can use Windows applications.

Thank you.
