I want to remove an infected folder with a Linux “live” CD, but it won’t see the hard drive.?

I’ve tried many different live CDs, including WIndows preboot environment, Ubuntu, PC-Linux, and several others, and none of them “see” the hard drive. I’m sure I’m missing knowledge about how this works. I want to remove a keylogger folder from an infected hard drive with XP. If I try to remove it from within Windows (even when the HDD is a slave) the OS just hangs.

Distro Review: CAINE 2.0 Live CD – NewLight

What is the best Linux distro for me?

Not looking for one that apes Windows. Quite willing to learn to work in a new desktop environment (though you’ve lost me at “command line…”) In fact non-Windowsness is appealing. Basically, what I’d like to know is whether a GNOME or KDE distro would be better suited to my hardware (details below). I like to personalise things, and work with options, etc. I also like a bit of bling! So I was leaning towards KDE. But above all, I prize stability…

My laptop:
Toshiba Satellite A210
AMD Turion 64×2 TL-60, 2 GHz
2GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600, memory amount : 512 MB dedicated VRAM

Currently runs Vista Home Premium. Fed up with the slowness and clunkiness of Vista, as well as little glitches, like Windows Explorer shutting down every so often.

I’m not technical – never going to learn to work with code or anything like that. But I am intuitive, can figure things out, not a complete idiot!

I’ve downloaded Ubuntu to a Live CD, and have been giving that a go. Enjoying it – seems nice and clear. Will do the same with Kubuntu soon.

But my question is, regardless of which I prefer on an aesthetic or organizational level, which one would be more stable on my hardware?

Is there a Linux Live CD that can run a defrag on NTFS partitions?

Is there a Linux Live CD that can run a defrag on NTFS partitions? I would like to be able to boot into a Linux graphical environment and run diagnostics on Windows NTFS partition, particularly defrag and chkdsk. I know there is BartPE to create a bootable XP CD but I would prefer a Linux disk. Thanks
