KNOPPIX 5.0
KNOPPIX is truly one of the most useful tools you'll ever find. It is a fully functional, fully loaded operating system which runs direct from the CD. Stick it in your CD-ROM drive, reboot your computer, and without copying any files to your hard drive you'll be booted into a Linux-based operating system loaded with hundreds of apps, including internet, productivity, recovery, system apps, even audio/video playing/editing apps. With the familiar Windows-like interface you can navigate to do almost everything you'd expect to do in Windows. KNOPPIX is not intended specifically for system recovery, that's just one of the many things it can help you with.

To quote from the Knopper.net site:

KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals... It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it.
