[QUOTE="AntonScott, post: 806838, member: 62399"] No. There's nothing stopping you from putting whatever you want on the system. That restriction only applies to the PE released as part of WAIK - which is fair enough. If you have a licence for windows and use it to build your own PE without using WAIK you will never see of that restriction. The legal situation is similar to BartPE for XP which Microsoft was unable to stop (though the original version had to modified to make it legal). I've never run my system continuously for 24 hours let alone 72 - I always turn it off at night. You don't have to use the default - though at that 300 MB FAT32 make more sense. PE has no problem reading and creating NTFS partitions (obviously it would be pretty useless as a recovery tool if it didn't). With [S]some [/S]a lot of effort you can even copy the whole OS entirely to a ram disk and run it from there. That's an interesting setup - you get the same system every time you boot and rebooting removes any malware on the OS. You could even write protect the original copy. [/QUOTE]
