Yep, Knoppix would do the job. As far as I'm aware, the Linux formatting process is performed pretty quickly for all formats. Oren might know a little more about this. When I install Linux, ext3 formatting seems to happen at the same speed as ntfs.

I also use a Linux LiveCD to partition my hard drives. It's much easier and quicker.
