Hi,

Try 'Pc Inspector' > http://www.pcinspector.de/download.asp?language=1

 

It's Free and it's good.

http://www.remote-exploit.org . Backtrack has a very good suite of tools for helping you get into most stuff. Not sure it is forensics as such but all the tools are there to help you 'audit' everything from wireless encryption to your password hashes.

System Rescue CD has some neat tools on it too.
