2.Locate folder C:\Komku\PeToUSB\ and double click PeToUSB.exe

An excellent step by step

Don't forget that this is only useful for newer computers where boot from usb or similar is available

I use a similar method but use BARTPE as there are some very good diagnostic utilities on the BARTPE Password reset hard drive tests etc etc.

Thanks for sharing
