System Rescue CD (www.sysresccd.org)
Linux live CD that has all sorts of useful tools:
* GNU Parted creates, resizes, moves, copies partitions, and filesystems (and more).
* GParted GUI implementation using the GNU Parted library.
* Partimage saves / restores partitions to an image file on another partition or to another system.
* FSArchiver flexible tool to save/restore a filesystem to a compressed archive.
* File systems tools (for Linux and Windows filesystems): format, resize, and debug an existing partition of a hard disk
* Ntfs3g: enables read/write access to MS Windows NTFS partitions.
* sfdisk saves / restores partition table (and more).
* Test-disk tool to check and undelete partition, supports reiserfs, ntfs, fat32, ext2/3 and many others
* Memtest+ to test the memory of your computer (first thing to test when you have a crash or unexpected problems)
* Network tools (Samba, NFS, ping, nslookup, ...) to backup your data across the network
And more...
I started using it for partition backups. I recently discovered it has a tool to access windows account details and reset passwords.
