Here are a few options: - A Bart PE Boot CD - Any Windows 7 installation CD - Any Windows 7 Repair CD With the last two options you need to select Repair, then Command Prompt. If you can't find either of them then you can download one from here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/. It's an involved process but it's faster than making the Bart CD. And yes, it does work for all NT-based versions of Windows.
