I am certainly not an expert in this realm, but I have great luck using
INSERT Linux - a "Live CD." (INside SEcurity Rescue Toolkit) From the
website it claims it supports:

EXT2,EXT3,MINIX,REISERFS,JFS,XFS,NTFS,FAT,MSDOS,NFS,SMBFS,CIFS,NCPFS,UDF,AF
S,EFS,HFS,HFS+,HPFS,SHFS,UFS,UNIONFS

So far, I have only had to use it for NTFS, FAT, EXT2 & 3. I can't vouch
for the others.

Best of all, it is only 50 megs, works on a Knoppix base, and also has the
basics of a full operating system and anti-virus. I know mixing platforms
is not encouraged for A+, but as a useful tool, I really enjoy it.
Moreover, I have used the Knoppix DVD and CD and STD and found that INSERT
has better and more reliable NTFS writing abilities. I recently rescued a
Pentium Win98 system by carefully rewritting some files from the INSERT CD.
I am not a Linux power-user and this uses a very stripped (though very
fast) graphical interface. It is easy for any average Linux user, but might
be a nightmare for a Windows user who just wants to fix something.

As an aside, there is also a collection of open source programs called the
"Ultimate Boot CD" and not only does it have a lot of nifty utilities, it
also includes a slightly older version of INSERT.

That sure is a lot of different types of partitions, most of them I never
heard of.

* Gives you full access to NTFS from CIA Commander-DOS

Greetings,

The other great tool is definately NTFS Reader. That allows you to
access NTFS system in DOS oe Windows 98\me. The tool helped me before
and I can say it is really reliable. The tool itself can be found on a
data utils set CD image, Active@ Boot Disk that also inclides truly
mighty tools for data erase, restore and backup.

Thanks for that info. I'm going to give it a try because I sometimes run
into this situation.
