CD Rom based troubleshooting utility

Depending on your exact needs are, Norton Utilities may fit the bill (NOTE: don't try with Norton Systemworks as this CD boots to the AV program).

Straight from the Winternals web site:
"When your server or workstation won't boot, you need ERD Commander 2002. ERD Commander 2002 boots dead systems directly from CD into a Windows-like environment. You'll have full access to the dead system's volumes, so you can diagnose and repair problems using tools located on the ERD Commander 2002 Start menu. And you'll have built-in network access to safely move data off of, or on to, the dead system. With ERD Commander 2002 you can repair a system quickly and easily, saving you time and rescuing your critical data. "

I don't have a copy, but I have seen it in action. It is a dream!

Choose your favorite DOS based utilities, and create your own bootable CD.

There are a number of links to bootable CD pages at www.bootdisk.com

I would propably choose to use the W98 startup floppy as the DOS OS for the CD.

Add a copy of System Internals dos to NTSF Utility to be able to access NTSF drives.
