I used winbuilder for making windows xp live cd called "live Xp" its different from bart's windows xpe. now from pe2usb tool, I also make my usb driver bootable with this Live XP. for maintiang system i want to put this live xp in my hdd in C or D drive with option in boot menu.

Is it possible how can i do it.

Prefer Live Xp because it is Small, Look like Real XP, Using windows XP explorer (not A4 file Manager), XP start Menu. etc.

Try to solve my problem/

create 2 partitons on you hard drive

install windows xp first to partition 1

when in windows copy all your xp live files from your USB key to the second partition.

in system porperties go to section ---> advanced

click button in "Startup and recovery" called settings

in system startup section click "edit"

add this information below the current information in the boot.ini file

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="XP Live" /noexecute=optin

save and exit


reboot pc and see if it boots.

Hmmm, it would seem to me rather difficult it would boot because:
1) any XP based PE uses a \minint\ structure on HD (instead of a \windows\ one)
2) any XP based PE uses SETUPLDR.BIN instead of NTLDR

(Yes, Winbuilder LiveXP is a form of PE )

Your best option is reading this threads:

You do not need to rename grldr to NTLDR (latest releases need modifying to allow that), but you can just add to your existing boot.ini a line like:


and grub4dos will be loaded by NTLDR, and in menu.lst you need only the entry for /minint/setupldr.bin

Alternatively, you can change the invoked file in the bootsector:

You can as well have the PE on the same partition as your XP, but be aware of possible conflicts with other folders, like "Program Files" and the like.
