RE: Forensic tool to recommend?

I would think you wanted read only if you were conducting a forensic
examination, right? Or am I reading this wrong?

Biggest issue I've noticed here, is that Helix does not recognize SATA 
cdroms. Booting from such, you get a limited read-only usage.

I recommend the HELIX LiveCD distro. It has both Windows and Linux "sides"
- booting from cold will give access to the Linux toolset, however loading
the CD in Windows provides access to a variety of Windows tools.

Good luck
