Hey everyone.

I've heard that its possible to make an image of the current state of an Operating System along with programs. I know it is possible but i'm not sure which program is used to do this. This makes an easy way out of reinstalling XP again. I just want different choices and see which one works best. If anyone knows what program is used. Please and THank U.

2 options I know of are

Acronis TrueImage

and

Norton Ghost

Of the 2 I hear the acronis is the better choice.

Add "Power Quest Drive Image".

I have never used Acronis, but Norton Ghost works just fine for me.

And of course most of the apps listed here, of which several are FREEWARE:

ImageX!

Free!

Can append images to keep image as small as possible!

Simply the best!

Dang. Jaclaz beat me to it.

Thx for all the appz names. Really Helped a lot!!

Consisdered Norton Ghost (v12) but 'Emergency Recovery' requires 512mb ram. (I have 512, but manual specifically mentions shared video memory makes ram less than 512, and ER Boot disk may not function.)

Considering NTI Backup Now 4.0

(www.ntius.com)

haven't seen acronis

will look...

The Nets Edge

What were you using for 'Emergency recovery' out of ghost? The Boot CD is 25mb with all the options and takes less than 50mb of memory to boot.
