Pre-loaded OS

Afternoon

I was wondering if there is such a thing around.
In short what i am looking for is a tool which adds custom files or exes onto OS ISO. Just like any manufacturer uses bundled software to run on your laptop. I want to inject an ISO with my own stuff, say like drivers, apps such a steam and so on.

Has anyone came accross such a thing? or maybe i've been sleeping for too long and something like that already been developed?

Any input is apreciated

I've used nlite to do this on XP.

vLite works for Vista and 7.

Also try the Windows AIK. It's generally for advanced users but it is released by MS with each version of Windows and therefore kept up to date.

Download it free here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5188

I wouldn't use vlite, it's not been updated in years.

I was on the alpha testing team for it, even a windows hotfix could ruin your OS if a wrongly removed file was taken away. It hasn't been updated (and won't be) since before SP1 came out.

Use WAIK

burned AIK onto a dvd. Is there a tut or instructions of some sort on how to use it? Readme doesn't really help. Someone help

EDIT: from what i've read in comments its an extras iso without the actual install in it. AIK needed for the thing to run
