See I Have Not Tried This But I Got A Link To Create Windows Xp Bootable CD

Source *www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

Requirements to build:

  1. The files from your Windows Installation CD-Rom.
    Supported Windows versions are:
    • Windows XP Home Edition (must be slip streamed with Service Pack 1 or higher)
    • Windows XP Professional (must be slip streamed with Service Pack 1 or higher)
    • Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
    • Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
    • Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
  2. PE Builder runs on Windows 2000/XP/2003/BartPE systems.
  3. CD/DVD writer if you want to creat a bootable CD/DVD.
*www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/#TOC
*www.nu2.nu/gfx/arrowright.gif Getting started


This page will help you create your very first BartPE CD. It assumes that you are using Windows XP.


  1. Make sure that your system has about 500MB of free disk space!
  2. Download the latest PE Builder version (self-installing package) and install it.
  3. Start PE Builder (pebuilder.exe). When you start PE Builder for the first time it will ask if you agree with the license agreement.
  4. Now PE Builder will ask to search for windows installation files. If you don't have your windows XP setup/installation files on your system you must insert the original Microsoft Windows XP installation/setup CD at this point.
    The files you have at c:\windows are not installation files. They are your already installed files!
    Click "yes" to start searching. PE Builder will now search all fixed- and CD-Rom drives for Windows installation files. This will take some time. When more than one valid location is found, a dialog will appear where you can select which location you want to use.
  5. At the main PE Builder dialog, select the "Burn to CD/DVD" option. When you are using an erasable medium, make sure that the "AutoErase RW" option is enabled. The "burn using" option should be set to "StarBurn". Select your CD writer device from the Device list.
  6. Hit the "build" button. PE Builder will now ask you to create a BartPE directory, answer with "yes".
  7. The license for your Microsoft Windows XP product is shown. Read it and agree to it to continue.
  8. PE Builder will now start building BartPE. This will take a few minutes.
    You will see a lot of files getting copied and/or decompressed, the ISO image build and the data recorded to your CD/DVD writer.
    If the data verify was correct and there where no errors reported you can boot the CD/DVD!

I allready have a working live cd. created it 4 months ago. It works perfectly.
But while running it you get cr@ppy graphics. But still its very good for troubleshooting.

P.S. : Advance user can integrate their graphic drivers and some other softwares like antivirus, file browsers, e-mail editors, Internet browsers too.

nah that's not true , i create Live CD using bart's PE bout a year ago n it worked at my monitor's native resolution os 1024 x 768 , though u can't expect to run games from a live cd .

also if u hv bout 1 gig of RAM u can config Live CD to load XP completely into RAM(by using a RAM-Drive) n i'tll run a hell lot faster than ur normal hdd XP install.

also if u want BLAZING performance for your XP , take a look at this app

RAMDisk is a software driver that emulates as fully as possible the low-level functionality of a hard disk with system RAM. RAMDisk speeds up applications because RAM is much faster than mechanical hard disks for storing and retrieving data. Applications that do a lot of reading and writing to storage, like database queries, will show the most improvement with RAMDisk.

RAMDisk can be configured to automatically load a disk image at startup and save the image to disk at shutdown. This allows the RAMDisk to function almost exactly like a hard disk; no data is lost when the power is turned off.

Yes to all
You can very easily integrate softwares like a CD-Burner, and antivirus into the live CD using Bart PE. Just go to the Options section! This article appeared in PC Quest in 2004! I dont know about drivers.
And this CD will work on a PC 256MB of RAM. 1GB of RAM will give Blazing performance!

LiveCD is good for diagnostic & troubleshooting purpose. I made one using BartPE with my system drivers, portable version of Firefox, Pidgin IM, 7-Zip, Foxit PDF Reader, modem & USB drivers. it is really helpful for those cases where OS refuces to boot. Atleast we can copy files from c to d drive or backup drive & then reinstall windows/linux.

Where can I get plugins from and how do I add them. I need plugins for Winrar, Nero etc. Is there any source wherein I can get many plugins.

@go4saket For Nero see this
Nero Burning Rom by Ahead Software is not freeware, buy it from Ahead Software!

Before you can use the plugin you must copy some files to the plugin directory.

I have used Nero v5.5.10.35 for testing, but I assume that ever v5.5.10.x version will work (not sure).

Copy all files from the nero directory into the plugin\nero burning rom\files directory:

Edit the penero.inf file and uncomment the software.addreg section, change the username, company name and your nero serial.

It should look something like this:

[Software.AddReg]
0x1, "ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info", "User", "Bart Lagerweij"
0x1, "ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info", "Company", "Nu2 Productions"
0x1, "ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info", "Serial5", "0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000"

For Nero6 you should also copy shfolder.dll from your system32 folder to plugin\nero burning rom\files.

This is given in the in-built help files. Try the online forum that they have for this. I'm trying it just now, if I get some info, will surely share it.

Info on creating plugins and links to some plug-in repositories are available on the FAQ page. But I did not find any good plug-ins there.

Any1 knows how to integrate drivers, like graphic drivers, into the PE???
