SystemRescueCd 8.02

SystemRescueCD is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM for fixing your system or restoring your information after a crash. It aims to offer a simple manner to carry out admin actions on your PC, such as generating and editing the partitions of the hard drive. It includes a lot of system tools (partimage, parted, fstools) and basic options (midnight commander, editors, network tools). It is very simple to use: just boot the CDROM. The kernel handles most of the essential file systems (ext2/ext3, iso9660, reiser4, reiserfs, xfs, vfat, jfs, ntfs), and network filesystems (samba or nfs).
