1. Download Linux PartedMagic pmagic_2012_2_27.iso http://partedmagic.c...hp?id=downloads

2. Download BOOT_USB.exe http://www.911cd.net...showtopic=24424

3. Use BOOT_USB.exe to prepare USB drive for booting with pmagic_2012_2_27.iso file

4. Boot Linux Parted Magic ISO file from Grub4dos Boot menu

:cheers:

Try porteus. It is a slax fork that is very modular. It doesn't specialize in recovery but you can add the tools necessary with ease, as I have. Making your own packages( they call them modules) is a breeze.

Grub4Dos info
