Knoppix rules for rescuing hosed windows machines.
cool info on BartPE, I've read a little about it (mostly for creating custom install CDs), but never saw it in action.
Yeah knoppix is really incredible, yet such a simple idea
Basically it's a choice between:
Knoppix + reinstall of XP (actually sounded like just get rid of XP in that article)
or
Actually repair XP without reinstall if possibly by using BartPE
