Actually, a cheaper Home version of the ESR is available -- at US49 only.
It has a limited functionality, pub probably still enough to solve your
ptoblem.

Of course, there are free alternatives, too. For example:

http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

But is is based on Linux kernel, so with a limited hardware support, and
command-line interface (while ESR is WinPE-based and so has GUI).
