Download Ubuntu Linux, create a bootable CD. Then, boot from CD and use Linux from there. You don't have to install Linux, just run from CD. Once done, you can restart again and remove the CD.

If you are brave enough to hack your NC, running Ubuntu from CD is a piece of cake!

Most of the tool and stuff you need to hack NC or any other device, are already part of the Linux operating system. "dd" command is one of those, which clones partitions.

But you will love Ubuntu for sure and you probably install as dual boot or forget about crappy Windows Os, lol ...
