Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It comes with a boot selector integrated, which allows you to pick several utilities to use (such as Norton Ghost, Partition Magic, and a homemade MS-DOS live CD, and more). It has minimal changes, only a theme and wallpaper, and some drivers and updates here and there, but that's about it. It is unattended and preactivated.

The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with AutoPlay Menu Builder 5.1.0.341, and the boot selector used was EasyBoot v5.1.
