Bart's PE builder allows you to create a bootable cd which runs the
Windows XP kernel direct from a CD without installing it.

Its similar to Microsoft's Windows PE. (a cut down version of XP,
ideal for recovery purposes but only available to corporates etc)

It requires XP (or server 2003) to create it.

When you boot from the Windows PE cd you've created, you're running XP.
The OS (if any) installed on the hard disk should be immaterial.
