It is my first time trying it. My purpose is to use it for:
- Youtube
- Listen Music
- Watch CD/VCD/DVD
However, after the try, i can install a browser (Qt Web Browser) to visit the internet, but no more. For me, the only purpose to create it is for trouble shooting, which i think it is a really good tool! (I have tried Puppy Linux for my desktop OS purpose, and this LiveCD site gives others options)
Anyway, this is the step to create the WinPE:
But first of all, these 2 pages also give the installation steps, but they need to use Windows Vista or better, my OS is Windows XP, so my steps are a little bit different.

Step 1: Install Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK)
- Download AIK: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Windows-Automated-Installation-Kit-AIK.shtml
- Install it
Step 2: Make the image file
- Open from AIK: Deployment Tools Command Prompt
- Run the followings commands:
> copype x86 c:\winpe
> copy c:\winpe\winpe.wim c:\winpe\iso\sources\boot.wim /y
> copy "c:\program files\windows aik\tools\x86\imagex.exe" c:\winpe\iso\
> oscdimg -n -h -bc:\winpe\etfsboot.com c:\winpe\iso c:\winpe\winpe.iso
- The image file is now ready at: c:\winpe\winpe.iso
Step 3: Make the CD or USB
- To make CD, use your own CD image writer (I don't have any suggestion)
- To make USB, I have found a good one: rufus, simple and easy to use
Done! Good job.
