Guide to Using Active-Boot Disk 24.1.1

Safety and Legal Considerations

• Backup Data: Always have a backup of your critical data before performing any significant operations.
• Legality: Ensure that you have the right to use the software and that it's used for legitimate purposes.

2.1 The WinPE Foundation

Active@ Boot Disk is built upon Windows PE (WinPE). WinPE is a lightweight version of Windows used for the deployment of PCs, workstations, and servers. The x64 designation ensures compatibility with modern Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) systems and secure boot protocols (though Secure Boot often requires disabling for third-party boot media).

The architecture operates entirely within Random Access Memory (RAM). Once the ISO image is loaded, the system does not rely on the local hard drive for execution. This "live" environment is critical for forensic integrity, as it prevents the operating system from writing temporary files or logs to the disk being recovered or analyzed.

• SFC Disablement: The Windows System File Checker (SFC) may be disabled to prevent the system from detecting modified system files.
