Is there a chart on this forum where we can see which distributions offer a live CD (or USB bootable drive) that have the capability to write to windows NTFS volumes?

Reason: spelling
if it's about a rescue operation I recommend http://www.sysresccd.org/ . The rescue disk fits on a 0.5 GB USB stick easily and contains a rich set of tools, including ntfsresize and partclone.
I was hoping for a free open source distribution. I know there were some live cd distributions at one time that could write to NTFS partitions. The only live cd I can find in my collection now is the SuSE live cd which will read NTFS but not write to it.
SystemRescueCd is mostly a collection of FOS tools (and a Linux kernel, of course) and is itself released under the GPL-2 license. See http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage (at the bottom of the page).
