As an addendum..

There are several packages out there that are Linux environs that are used by
techs/IT professionals that are used to rescue Windows systems.

These are normally distributed as ISO's to create bootable optical media.

There is Trinity Rescue Kit as an example.

Other kits I have seen and used are to help retrieve logon passwords on Windows
machines in which the user forgot the logon password.

I work for Office Depot and we do some work on customers PC's mostly tuning and
optimization, antivirus installation, restores etc, so these tools are handy in
rendering a customers PC bootable, or to boot into a clean environment to
remove malware that prevents us from getting it on the network.

If you are looking at making something up, look at these kits for an idea of
what you might like your project to do:

Trinity Rescue Kit
UBCD4WIN
Bootzilla

The last 2 are windows, but you could see what the developers were thinking of
as far as what to include in a rescue kit.
