Hirens has been around for quite a while, and gets updated
periodically. its a all-in-one CD or USB boot full of mostly open
source tools, can boot into memtest86, a linux kernel/shell/gui
environment, or into a 'bartPE' mini-XP environment. freedos too, I think.
hirens themselves only distributes the kit to build it, since it
involves some licensed software, but pre-built ones are available from
somewhat marginal sources (bit-torrent, etc).
you could, of course, simply use a plain BartPE boot, too, that you
built yourself (Bart provides a toolkit for creating a winPE style
environment). you need access to a Windows desktop system somewhere to
build one of these, along with the Windows XP CD to get the required files.
