Barts PE question

I am trying to burn a Barts PE bootable CD on my laptop-1 to bypass the
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM error I am getting while booting up my laptop-2.

I have to copy the contents of my XP-cd for this.

I have Windows XP-Home installed on both my laptops. I just have the recovery cd's for both the laptops and not the XP-Home cd's. However I do have a Windows XP-Pro CD which I recently bought. Would it make a difference if I use a Barts PE cd based on XP-Pro to boot a machine using XP-Home?

Thanks in advance

 
No i dont belive so but i could be wrong. Barts PE just needs files from Windows Xp or Windows 2003 OS cd and then it creates a a Preinstallation enviroment, so you can boot off the cd and do whatever you need to do.
 
The BartPE disc doesn't care about the OS on the machine at all, the only time you might run into problems is when MS makes changes to things like the NTFS format, but I think the last time that happened in a non-compatible way was back with NT4 SP4.
 
Thanks shawn130c, Nothinman, TG2.... I am working on building the barts PE cd now...Hopefully I wil be able to get into my laptop and salvage my data...
