You might have read many tutorials, which guide you to make Vista/XP live CD using Barts PE software.Barts PE procedure is pretty time consuming as well as old. In this tutorial I am going to show you the Vista/XP live CD and Vista/XP live USB stick without using the good old Barts PE freeware.Let's start the procedure.I have tried to keep the short as small as possible.
Tutorial With Screen Shots
(As I am using MO service unable to upload screen shots)
​

Required Softwares and other things
1.Microsoft Windows XP/Vista CD/DVD
2.Two GB or more capacity pen drive
3.Net connection( No need to worry for speed connection.I am doing this on MO).It's matter of few MBs
4.CD/DVD to make live CD/DVD.
5.Man of the match..Sorry,,I mean,WinBuild software using which we are going to create live CD.

Download the WinBuilder Here(It's just 834KBs!!!)
Extract the file and copy it to a 'New Folder'(Recommended requierd space is 2GB)
Unpack and Run Winbuilder(no installation required!!!)
On your mark,get set,go...

1.The first screen of WinBuilder gives you the brief explanation on how to use this magnificiant program.You can read all the necessary instructions here.Press on the "Download" tab to proceed further.(Screen Shot Here)

2.This is the download screen of WinBuilder were you need to select required tools,drivers and other crusial applications required for a live CD/USB.As you can see in the screen shot you need to select one option from the three('Recommended' or 'Complete' or 'Minimum') options in the drop down menu.You can further remove from the list which shows just below these three options.(Screen Shot Here)

3.After selecting required option,press 'Download' button which is located just below the left side pane.Time required to download depends on what optins you have selected in the left side pane just before.Download size is around 40 MB.

4.The next one is 'Scripts' tab.Once again you will see a list of options on the left pane of the wizard.Here,check the 'VistaPE MUltiboot'/XP option and expand the tree further.

5.Expand the tree named 'Applications'.In this option, you will see all the available sections of applications,which you can add to your live Vista/XP CD/USB.

Two questions: can we add softwares pre-installed into it ?? Just as in the case of Deploying Windows to pre-install or slipstream the softwares ???
and
Does this have any plugins support ???

BTW - Nice post, I think the Bart PE support has been shutdown by its author?

^^ plugins, means like the one we use in bart pe to slipstream the apps into Xp so that it will be already installed when booted into it

^ Well,I didn't ask you the meaning of plugins.I know what it is..What I meant was when everything preinstalls from CD burner to media player which plugin you want to install? And suppose if you want to install any new plugins which is not there in that list is not possible.
I haven't played too much with that software as I am on MO( very slow here).If you have decent connection you can give a try.
