911cd.net — Linux Live CDs get all the fame, but what do you get when you combine BartPE forum users with a dedication to making the smallest Windows XP Live CD known to man? A 16 meg ISO and shrinking... FAIR WARNING: The thread should be read in its entirety to make sure you compile it correctly.

There are tons of potential uses. The guys on this forum have gotten to the point where they have most of the work automated using a program called "Batcher". All I had to do to create the ISO was follow a few steps and pop in my Windows XP cd.Here's a few potential uses:Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP/PERL aka WAMPP on a live CDOpenSource (nearly) Windows Backup/Repair CDBartPE optimization (they use techniques like UPXing dlls that BartPE hasn't implemented) for more space on your current BartPE CDPlus the speed in which it loads nearly puts some tiny Linux Live CDs to shame.

Live cd with NTFS write support?? If so I'm in.

@theHMPoint well taken. But what triggered my knee-jerk reaction was the heading of this Digg "Windows XP Live CD in a 16 meg ISO (MicroPE)". Its not a USABLE live CD by any stretch of imagination. The heading just implies a bunch of stuff which it should not.

I totally agree with Lostboy, ubcd4win is what I used on my BartPE iso, good stuff, and if you go out and get all the plugins for it, it's even better!It has full NFTS support, and you can add all the scsi drivers that you need to be able to support server hardware as well. So throw on some password recovery software, and you've got a great emergency cd for the Datacenter as well.It's a very good tool set to have, and that's the main reason that I've posted so much about it here.Sorry to the people that bust on my spelling or verbage, but in forums I type how I think, however good or bad that may be...

Be very wary of the bushtorrent site mentioned - PeerGuardian blocks it and identifies it as "AtrivoHell.CWS.BS.Hijackers|Malware Network"

OK, this "live CD" crap is becoming the new scourge of Digg, taking its place among Apple, Google, and PS3 posts.
