Not a reasonable thing to do for the following reasons: 1). You have no idea what you're doing 2). Good forensics liveCDs already exist, built by competent forensics experts, tested in court 3). Forensics is not something you fuck with, because the potential to end up in court is quite high, and you don't want to be responsible for fucking up your client's case 4). You don't know what tools you want to use - some may be linux only 5). Take a look at helix if you really want to do this
