Windows XP x64 Live CD?

[mrQQ]

Hello,

what would be easiest way to get a x64 XP live cd? I want to check if all my software and drivers would work fine with x64 OS.

p.s. vista/7 x64 would work aswell..

thanks!

Hm, I tried Win7PE with WinBuilder, but it gave error about x64 source being not supported.. :/

I this case a Live CD is not a good choice. Guess you have to install Windows XP x64.

it's not much of advisory then, since if something doesnt work you're screwed

Well I mean it would take months to get such a LiveCD Build.

Probly most of the software your want to test is x86 Software, I think. That means this LiveCd have to fully support WOW32.

Also often it is not so easy to get some software/drivers in XP based LiveCD to work. So such a LiveCD is not the best thing to check if erverything would work fine.

is there a better way? something like x64 advisor or something, that would check compatibility..

There was an 120 Days trail edition of Xp x64 but it seems MS has removed it.

Maybe you can get a trail version of Windows Server 2003 x64 (it use the same system like the xp version) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...r/bb430831.aspx
