You could try INSERT-
http://www.insert.cd

or there are other alternatives, depending on how involved you want to get.

BG-Rescue Linux
http://omnibus.uni-freiburg.de/~giannone/rescue/current
BG-Rescue Linux is a Busybox and uClibc-based rescue system with kernel 
2.4.24 which supports the NTFS 2.1.6a driver. It is loaded 
either from two floppy disks or from one 2.8MB El Torito CD. The system runs 
entirely in RAM. It supports a wide range of 
hardware and filesystems, and can serve as a full backup/restore system for 
MS Windows systems that use FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32. 
It also includes bzip2, cabextract, cmdftp, cramfs, dosfstools, e2fsprogs, 
gpart, lilo, loadlin, lphdisk, mdadm, ms-sys, ntfsprogs, 
pcmcia-cardmgr, reiserfsprogs, smbclient, syslinux, umsdos-utils and zip. 
There is support for automatically loading the F-Prot 
antivirus program from CD-ROM


You could also get ClamAV or Aegis and the up-to-date sigs and your favorite 
flavor Linux or one of the small 'live CD' distros and make your own with the 
bash scripts for "LinuxLive" 
 http://www.linux-live.org/     
A small Knoppix-based distro like RIP (Recovery is Possible) would work well 
with an AV tool, Captive-static to get you access to the NTFS,  and whatever 
else you might need.
