Hirens has been around for quite a while, and gets updated 
periodically.     its a all-in-one CD or USB boot full of mostly open 
source tools, can boot into memtest86, a linux kernel/shell/gui 
environment, or into a 'bartPE' mini-XP environment.  freedos too, I think.

hirens themselves only distributes the kit to build it, since it 
involves some licensed software, but pre-built ones are available from 
somewhat marginal sources (bit-torrent, etc).

you could, of course, simply use a plain BartPE boot, too, that you 
built yourself (Bart provides a toolkit for creating a winPE style 
environment).  you need access to a Windows desktop system somewhere to 
build one of these, along with the Windows XP CD to get the required files.
