The G-Parted LiveCD might be what you're after.

Or SystemRescueCD will probably be of use. It contains GParted, NTFSTools and a whole heap of other useful bits and pieces.

No FFS support though! :-)

This is not what I am looking for. I just want a boot program so that I can format my Harddrive into NTFS, and install Windows afterwords...

The Ultimate Boot CD can do this too... plus it has a load of other useful tools too (memory tests etc). It can also "nuke" a hard drive, filling it was 1's and zeros, which completely wipes a HD, even removing the MBR...
