A Windows live CD is a CD which is containing a bootable Windows OS in it . Here we are about to create a Windows live CD with few preinstalled programs . These programs can be browsers , antivirus software , media players etc . So later if you are installing Windows from these live Cd's , you don't need to install all those included programs separately . This is very useful as we don't need to carry all our favorite programs separately in a CD . The size of the live CD varies according to the number of programs preinstalled onto it . Anyways , 700 MB is recommended if you planning to make it to run on a CD drive . Now to create Windows CD with preinstalled programs , we need the following utilities .
1. Bart PE builder software " Download
2. A CD image burner software like Ahead Nero
3. Pebuilder plugins to customize our CD ( programs are available as plugins )
