Have you considered just leaving the Windows system and partitioning as is, and setting up a Linux VM running on VirtualBox, for example? Depending on the kind of diagnostics that you need to run, that could possibly do the job, too, but would have the advantage of being able to run both OSs at the same time, rather than having to select at boot time.
That approach, however, may have some limitations when connecting to external hardware. That being said, USB support for VirtualBox is pretty good these days. The effort to set it up is not significantly different from changing partitioning, installing a second OS, and keeping the boot loader intact. It's a really low-risk way of spinning up another OS quickly. Kind regards, Helmut.
