Hello all, toast here again. Thanks to FabianX and his time we now have scripts to automate this portion of the process. Please see here for the origional post. (This post contains both scripts.)

Will keep you posted with more information soon...

Any chance this will make it into Knoppix like some of Fabianx's other scripts?
Could this possibly result in a "Knoppix to fix Windows" customization? I'm not quite brave enough to make a customized CD myself, but it's an idea for someone with some free time and the know-how of what should be installed.
Once I've used Knoppix some more I'll be happy to do this, but it'll take a while.

I have been long considering making a knoppix remaster that allows one to fix Windows related issues. As a matter of fact I also have collected together a bunch of untilities (almost 45Mb) just for fixing windows machines. Of course I do have a working remaster with some of those utilities included as well... I just need to find a way to integrate those utilities into a running linux OS. See, most of the programs that I have assembled are self booting floppies and cd-roms that are built on linux but are not executables from within linux... some of the items I have managed to collect include.
1.) Windows NT password resetter... self booting floppy... requires R/W support for NTFS before I can put it into knoppix. :-(
2.) Memtest86... enough said... I think this one is also included in the newest releases of knoppix...
3.) f-prot ... Decent Anti-Virus software that works quite quickly and efficently... not a freely distributable program but is free for personal use... this program also has a few scripts for it available due to the work FabianX has put into it. the scripts are for installing and automated scanning capabilities.
4.) XcdRoast... this one is a program that WAS included in knoppix but has since been removed. At least it was removed in the 3-30-03 release. I prefer XcdRoast to K3b (the new program replacing it) because of my familiarity and because I can't seem to get K3b to recognise my burner :(
5.)CpuBurn... Pretty decent way of testing your processor and cooling system.
6.) S.M.A.R.T. tools utility suite... is already included in the knoppix package but I prefer having an up-to-date version installed as the older one commonly gave me incorrect readings on many drives.
7.) Gkrellm... awesome processor, disk, network usage graphs and otherwise great computer monitoring proggy... when combined with LMsensors on a supported mainboard it also can give temp., fan speed, and can even tell your computer to shutdown if your processor fan or something gives out... excellent program but this only really works on a per machine installation basis.
8.)DiskSanitizer... awesome way to PERMINANTLY erase the data from a hard disk... works very similar to the things the NSA uses to erase data from their Hard drives when they become declassified.
9.) MacChanger... Very efficent way to spoof another machines MAC address (used for diagnosing / testing network connectivity).
10.) Kismet... Wireless networking tool for the geek in all of us... please see their web page for details... This tool can be used for good and for bad... I use it for diagnosing wireless connectivity issues (i.e. router and network card arent connecting... is it the signal... the router... or the network card???)
that about does it... linux's OWN kernel also generally provides excellent diagnostics as well... but I'm always looking for more toys (as i AM ubergeek :-p )
This already has become quite a long post so if you would like more information on any of the utilities please feel free to head over to my best friend:
www.google.com
Or you can drop me a line in my e-mail box... normally I'm pretty quick to respond so give that a whirl....

Hmm. A partition tool might be nice for this kind of disk. Parted would work from the command line, but if you are going to use a GUI on the disk, you might include QTParted http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/ .Quote:
