I know that we can make a live USB with persistence in PCLOS but none of the Windows USB software can do it. Is it because of the HD formating? I know that Lili uses Autoit, it is a BASIC type of scripting language. Would we need a Windows installer that could download and install the latest Gnome version?

For persistence, your live CD would need the ability to mount the Windows partition and leave a little something on the front lawn that it could sniff and find it later.

OK, I know that you had a point to that link but wha? Lay out what you are trying to say.

I thought you were thinking of installing/running Gnome in Windows. Did I read that wrong?

OK
I think I see what you meant.
I went here. It says you can have persistence if you use a usb drive.

Persistence
Having a Live USB key is better than just using a Live CD because you can even save your data and install software. This feature is called persistence (available only on selected Linux).
Read the FAQ for more information.

In order to make a CD persistent, you would have to make a folder on the Windows partition to store your configurations and any files you add during you session so they could be read in next time. That functionality would have to be built into the Gnome CD.
I can't swear to it but I think Parted Magic has that capability.

Burning an ISO image in Microsoft Windows.

ISO Recorder is a freeware tool which makes image writing available from the Windows desktop. Download and install ISO Recorder according to the instructions on their home page. You can write images in much the same way as under GNOME in Linux: browse to locate the file, right click on it, and choose ‘Copy image to CD’. This is the simplest available method for writing disc images under Windows.
