theres a pirated live cd version of xp available, but hey no illegal thingy here

It is possible .. You have to make a Bart PE windows live cd/dvd .. look here for more info on how to : *www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
Here is it's wiki for further info : *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BartPE

There was an article in a CHIP issue few months ago about doing this. Hell, it was a live USB 8)

That bootable USB thing was also in Digit a few months ago ... but it requires linux.

You mean the booting DSL from Linux 'question of the Motnh'? That was different. This only requires Windows, Bart PE and some configuration

That sounds interesting .. i dont access to Chip so can u post it here .

What luck! First issue i picked up was the one

it is the May 2006 issue. Obviously, I cannot copy it here

let me read it and see if i can find a site with instructions given as nicely as in this issue.

*www.tomshardware.com/2005/09/09/windows_in_your_pocket/

i have NOT read all of it, btw.

Thanks for this info .. y dont u post it in the tutorial setion .. i am sure lot of people would wanna know it.

aren't you supposed to put your own tuts there? Anyway, I have not tried this myself, so I don't want to do that. Maybe you should do it after you try it.

plz copy the article in chip to here. quick quick and quick

Dude, won't that be copyright infringement?

It wont be copyright infringement .. just type out the whole tut and in the beginning put source chip may 2006 .... am letting u put it there and waiting for it.

Live CD created with Bart PE is not exactly like windows though. Isn't there any other way?

I'll do it if the Mods allow me only. Besides, the site I gave should be good enough, no?

What will be the difference? I also would like to try.

See it for yourself. Try it on a RW CD. I had created it long ago. It comes nowhere near installed Win XP. :-(
