Have a look at the free 'donateware':

The most useful boot CD I've seen so far. Memory diags (memtest86!), hd 
diags for all the major hardware players (samsung, hitachi, seagate, WD 
etc.), filesystem diags/utilities, disk cloning, booting into a Win 
domain via DOS, PC info (AIDA16 - very handy for checking what's inside 
without opening the box), partition managers, virus checking.

Absolutely fantastic.

Please donate if you like it. The guy deserves it for his effort.
