XTremeCD v5.9.5 is a Windows XP SP3 based distribution created as part of the XTremeCD series, by XTreme.ws. It released on April 30, 2009, and was added to the archive on May 4, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with many SATA-RAID drivers and DriverPacks integrated. It has had a boot selector integrated into it, from there you can access several useful utilities.

It styles the OS with a cyan Windows Vista theme, and it adds many programs and themes, wallpapers and updates, among many other things. You can choose to make the installation unattended through the boot selector. The OS is preactivated by proxy, due to the unattended installation automatically setting a key.

The OS automatically applies OEM branding depending on what processor you are using.

The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with Advanced CD Launcher v1.2 by Boa Software, and the boot selector used was Bootable CD Wizard v2.0a1.
