Looking for Pen-Drive Linux capable of scanning NTFS partitions


I'm in need of a pen-drive linux variant that I can use to scan windows partitions...which of course means I'll need to use Wine in conjunction Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as well as Kaspersky. Any suggestions?

PS - I've only got a gig's worth of space to work with, so I'll need something pretty small. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at my post here-start on page 5 and check out all that stuff.
Please see reply #80 for My "LinuxToolz-Beta-USB.zip" and "LinuxToolz-Beta.iso.zip" that contains Billix-0.24/SystemRescueCD-1.1.6/Ubuntu-Rescue_remix 8.04 all on a 512MB stick.

SystemRescueCD can do alot.

Keep reading and get my "billix-dsl-embedded-fix.zip" (5MB) to fix the Billix-0.24 dsl-linux.sh so it boots and plays Qemu.

( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-works-714322/ )

Please tell me if it works...

Well, thanks a bunch to all who replied. I gave DSL a shot but just got aggravated w/ it in general...so I switched over to Puppy Linux, and it's exactly what I needed. Thanks again!
