The Linux-based distro Parted Magic is now included with UBCD V5.0. This should be the method of choice when you need to resize/rescue partitions, access NTFS filesystems or work with USB storage devices. * New! UBCD V5.0 now supports both syslinux/isolinux and grub4dos. This helps improve the chances that UBCD will boot on any particular machine. When you boot up from the CD, a text-based menu will be displayed, and you will be able to select the tool you want to run. The selected tool actually boots off a virtual floppy disk created in memory. That will give you a full Linux desktop rescue system with nice GUI for mounting partitions, and also Midnight Commander for doing the stuff you want to. Well worth the effort to download and burn to CD. It has 100+ utilities for sysadmin and system setup/repair jobs.
