I use System Rescue CD routinely for parition backups (image backups),
as well as other matenance. It's excellent. I have used it to
repartition a drive.

Note that System Rescue CD is not a partition table editor. It's a
live-cd linux didtribution, that happens to include a partition editor
called QTPartEd. So one of the tools on this disk is a partition
editor. (Actually, there are at least 3 partition editors on this
disk, but that's a technical detail. :) QTPartEd is the one you
probably want.)

Most live linux ditributions include QTPartEd, or if not, something
similar.

If you have more specific questions, ask. Or check out the forums at
sysresccd.org.
