I haven't used Toms bootroot before (mainly because I hate floppies with a passion), but we happen to have had someone mirror Knoppix, and if you haven't tried it out yet, you should. Much easier to recover/partimage/manually recreate partition table, copy data off stuffed NTFS partition while running KDE3 ;-). But having diskdrake would top it all off! And if you're in a fix, and need to ssh-tunnel X into your box from another machine, knoppis will do it for you (and give you a working cd-writer and OpenOffice to boot). If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go.
