A) WindowsPE is a Preinstalled Environment. It runs on a cd, or dvd. It alows you to run system tests and repair. It is limited to what you can do though, and there is no real way of customizing it.
The things out of the box with it that I found is:
To do it you simply use your regular windows os cd and run the PE Builder to make it. The only thing with it is that they recomend that you use WindowsXP Pro with sp2, if you don't have sp2 in your os cd you can get a program that will do it for you called Autostreamer, it works great. Home edition does not have all the things you will need. You can use home edition, but you will have to get the files needed from another source.
The thing I like best about this program is that you can add a plugin call XPE, this will give you the same desktop as windows and it allows you to make it look like the Windows desktop, you can even add a theme manager like window blinds or style xp and use it, the default BartPE desktop is limited.
You could make it look this: The options are endless.
I can go on about this, I love it - More info can be found here:

As a note: None of the programs you use for this are illegal, the ones that are bought require you to put a key in them before they will work on the cd. A lot of them are free also. It is truely a great program, There is so much you can do with it that it is imposible to list them all.
Is there anyone else who used this ??? If so how is yours set up ...

- I can't get the RAMdrive programs to work
- There is no real way to customize it to add programs you want, and programs you will use.
