NTFS Boot CD (Free)

[pvr02]

I am trying to make a boot cd that is command based.  However, I need it to read NTFS paritions.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Remember, i'm looking for something free or pretty damn cheap.  (Less than $25).

What are you trying to do with the CD and does it have to be command based?  You could always build a Windows XP BART CD.  The program to do this can be found at http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ .  If you have access to MSDN or TechNet then you could always get a copy of Windows XP OEM Preinstallation Environment which is basically a copy of Windows XP that runs off of the CD.  I have I have a copy Of Windows XP OEM PE but I have yet to play around with it a whole lot.

I tried BartPE and I can use that....however, it takes a while for it to boot up (even if you don't put a GUI on it).  I'm trying to basically find DOS on cd that can read and write to NTFS.  Any other ideas?
