RIPLinux

'''(R)ecovery (I)s (P)ossible! Linux''', a.k.a. RIPLinux by Kent Robotti , is a live system rescue CD, which can also be installed to USB, for fixing problems when locked out of your Linux OS or recovering data from a disk crash, etc. The kernel has IDE/SATA/SCSI support, and also has LVM1/2, RAID, and Ethernet/Cable/DSL networking support.

These are some of the programs it contains, as stated in the RIPlinuX.txt file:
 * partimage, partimaged
 * parted
 * dump, restore
 * fsck.reiserfs, fsck.reiser4
 * fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk
 * mke2fs, e2fsck, tune2fs, debugfs
 * jfs_mkfs, jfs_fsck
 * mkfs.xfs, xfs_repair, xfsdump, xfsrestore
 * cdrecord, dvdrecord, mkisofs, cdrskin
 * dvd+rw-format, growisofs
 * ntfsresize, mkntfs, ntfsclone, ntfsmount, ntfs-3g

The programs (fetchmail, curl, wget, ssh/sshd, mutt, links, lynx, msmtp, tmsnc, slrn, epic, lftp, and FireFOX) have SSL support. Also included are the CD/DVD UDF filesystem packet writing tools (cdrwtool, mkudffs, and pktsetup). The 'ntfsresize' program non-destructively resizes Windows XP/Vista/2k/NT4 or Windows Server 2003 NTFS filesystems. Read /usr/doc/RIPLinuX/ntfsresize.txt on the rescue system. The 'ntfsmount' or 'ntfs-3g' program will enable you to write to a Windows NTFS filesystem.
