Is it possible to make a windows live CD or DVD like BT3/ Ubuntu / alot of Linux does , but add all my favorite programs, firefox plugins, bookmarks, settings, ect..? how hard would this be to do? Ive used the basics of nortons ghost if that means anything, how would a person go on to creating such a cd/dvd? thanks

I suppose the disk can be copied since there are versions of WinXP online to download, but why store the OS on the disk when you just need folders and drivers etc- just burn a disk with your common folders and apps and install it after you install the OS from its OEM disk.

Not a fan of Windows, but I check out the thread and add in where I can, when I feel like it. I say just use a Linux Live CD, however, if there is such a case where you do need a Windows Live CD (I am not sure when, or why) then you should check out BartPE - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BartPE

I dont think you understand completely what i was saying, or maybe i did not explain it well. You know how you can just load a Live cd say BT3, ubuntu, puppy linux, ect.. from boot?

I am speaking about how do i create a custom windows boot live cd. I am 10x more knowledgable in windows then linux. Im not going to fool myself or pretend to be a 1337 linux dude. I just want to create a boot cd like the linux versions that will run a special version of windows i have and customize it the way i want exactly, keep it under DVD standards for boot , what 8GB?
