I use a Knoppix 3.4 CD with f-prot on a usb pen drive. Remount the M$
partition for rw (mount -t ntfs /dev/hdxy /mnt/hdxy -o remount) and
mount the usb pen drive. Run f-prot from the pen drive.

F-prot is a free download for Linux home users. It usually resides in
/usr/local/f-prot. Install it, update the def's and copy the lot to the
pen drive. 

This setup allows the debugging in a non-running M$ environment that
greatly facilitates the removal of bugs. Read the man pages on how to
use it. It is quite simple.
