Live CD Booting

Live CD Booting is a technique that allows a computer to run an operating system directly from a bootable CD, DVD, or USB drive without installing it on the hard drive. It loads the OS into RAM, enabling users to test, troubleshoot, or use a system without affecting the existing installation. This method is commonly used for system recovery, data rescue, and trying out Linux distributions.
