If you are dealing with NTFS partitions, I would not recommend using ANY version of Linux to write to an NTFS partition. There is a chance that you can corrupt the data and cause the partition to become unreadable, hence losing your data.

A better solution would be a Windows PE or Bart PE disk. A Bart PE disk can be made from the Installation disk or directory for Windows. Just Google Bart PE and you will find a wealth of information and tutorials for creating the disk and customizing it, if required.
