I'm working with driver development and want to make a livecd for windows, help please? [closed]

Question

I'm developing a driver which works with virtualization for the Windows platform and every time I test my driver I must boot to a different machine in order to test it (there is no nested virtualization support for Virtualbox or VMWare, and I'm not sure about Xen, but this is out of the scope of my question)

I was wondering if it's possible to create a livecd to any kind of windows flavor (I have legit versions of Windows that I work with) with all my tools included already, so I would only need to fetch my driver and load it instead of booting a modified machine

Can anyone recommend or hint me with which tools I should use ?

Be noted that we're talking about x86 and x86_64 too :)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The closest I know of is the Windows Preinstall Environment which boots off CD to a restricted Windows, and the free/gray area BartPE program to build one yourself with the programs you desire.

It's Windows XP era, though, and I don't know if that technology carries on in Windows 7, and it's also a restricted Windows (no Explorer.exe for a start) so your tools might not work on it anyway, but it could be worth a look.
