    Hey Guys, I was attending my A+ classes at my college and I have been hearing alot about the Recovery and Bootable CD/DVD. I have heard that these can be custom made and you can even have Multi-OS and have all the utilties you need on the CD/DVD. I have also heard that you can have something called a "Live OS'. What is this anyway? My question is if I want to make my own Custom Windows Recovery and Bootable CD/DVD, Where do I start. I have never done this before and I really want to try this out.

    So if some can point me to the right direction, it would really help me out in my A+ Class. So if anyone has any info, please let me know.

    P.S. Fusion:clap:

    A "Live" optical disk or pen-drive will boot to an OS, usually Linux but you can make a WinXP one using your existing Win system. Advantage of the Linux ones are they'll work on any PC, I think the Win ones are tied to your own hardware.

    With such as Bart PE plugins are available to add popular 3rd-party programs you own. Have a look round 911cd for more info.

    Also Ultimate Boot CD which comes with a set of tools to run in DOS.
