Hi,

 

I'm new to this whole issue so I want help

 

I used to deal with live CDs a lot, but now I want to create them.

 

What I want is simple.

 

I have ISO image of Windows XP, all what I want to,

 

1) Boot the XP as a LiveCD from my USB, NOT to install, but as a LiveCD, to help recover some files or troubleshoot urgent issue.

 

2) Same as 1, but this time from CD and not USB.

 

That's it.

 

Thanks in Advance

JFYI, it usually works the other way round.

First you make a working Live CD, and then you find a way to load it from USB.,

 

You won't normally want to boot an "XP" as LiveCD (though it is possible it has a set of limitations), you want to male a PE (PE 1.x) based on your Windows install CD.

 

A suitable project to begin with is UBCD4WIN:

which is a particular version largely pre-configured of a BartPE.

 

An alternative is LiveXP, you may want to start with amalux's "simplified" and "frozen" builds:
