Live OS or bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 or VISTA installation/setup CD-DVD are very suitable for special PC maintenance tasks or emergency situations.
A Live OS bootable DVD will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (at least 800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS file system support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.
Here it comes a list with the best Live bootable OS we have ever used so far, in no particular order:

Download any of the above, burn the image with Nero, UltraISO, PowerISO etc then boot your system from the CD drive.
