...boot Windows PE 2.0 & use it...? Is it legal(does not violate EULA or any other laws/agreements) if I dual boot Windows PE 2.0(Drive D:) and Windows XP(C:) & use the first to be a "recovery system". In this situation, I either user WinPE for making a backup/restoring of backup image of Drive C:. The making of a backup and restoring of the Drive C: image is done by ImageX(imagex.exe). And lastly, I will use format.exe(built-in in WinPE), and bootsect.exe(from a Windows Vista CD(legal)) to make my hard disk's boot sector NT52/NTLDR compatible.

Is it legal? As well as the usage of imagex and bootsect?
My Windows systems are perfectly licensed.
What if, supposedly, I just copied bootsect.exe from a Windows Vista CD of my friend(I don't have license to use Vista)?
If it is illegal to use Windows Vista's bootsect.exe, is it legal to use the bootsect.exe from Windows 7 Beta DVD?

Please tell me which is illegal if there's any, so I'll be knowledgeable about that.
Thanks.
 
Yes, it's perfectly legal to do so. That's one of the things that Windows PE was intended for.

Note that Windows PE automatically reboots after 72 hours to discourage its use as a pirated OS.
