How to make a Windows 7 live cd

Do you have any idea on how to create a live cd for windows 7? I tried Bart pe but I think its only for Windows xp. And when I tried it to create a live cd for xp. And booted the iso image created by bart pe. It doesnt look xp at all, the GUI does not look like xp and it has only limited task that you can run.

Solution 1:

I used WinBuilder to create a live, bootable Win 7 USB drive.

• basically scripts Microsoft's WAIK PETools mentioned in another post. It's just a matter of selecting the right project that has already been scripted.
• has a GUI front-end to customize various settings (including the option to use the native Windows 7 explorer shell, which was not the default when I used it)
• optionally pre-install software like web browsers and anti-virus

There is very active discussion on the Win7RescuePE forums, including detailed instructions in MS Word format with screen shots.

update: it seems the host of the WinBuilder project file for Win7RescuePE is currently not available. Recent messages in the forum have links to alternate download links:

Haven't been able to download any updates for Win7RescuePE for quite sometime, neither rescue.w07.net/Projects or joshua.winbuilder.net/Projects links are working. Can someone please let us know what the new address is?

I have uploaded a untouched copy of psc's Win7RescuePE_Upload.zip
