Biohead Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I want to image my near-bare XP install. I've got all my basic programs (such as Acrobat and ABG) on, and it's fully updated. Just saves me time when it come to reinstalling.I'm looking for a program that can burn the image to a DVD/CD and make it bootable so I can restore through that way. I've had a look at Ghost 10, but are there any other alternatives (pref. freeware ones) which can also do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesurfer Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 There are plenty of topics involving imaging an install in this forum. Lots of people use Acronis True Image.I personally use Norton Ghost 2003. I avoid Ghost 9 and 10. 2003 will let you burn to CD/DVD.I'm not sure of any freeones but if you search in this forum, you may find a link to one.PowerISO, afaik, only does CD/DVD images as an ISO, not hard drives. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jftuga Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Check out http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/Their Image for Windows and Image for DOS are quite less expensive than Symantec Ghost.-John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughes40 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Acronis True Image all da way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickzilla Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Acronis True Image isn't free, but I would definately look into that. I have played with the corporate workstation some and I really like it.You can download a trial version from the acronis site ( http://www.acronis.com ) and see if you like itIf you look around you may be able to get the home version for a lower price.

tguy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Have a look at Drive Snapshot - http://www.drivesnapshot.de.It is only ~ $40.00 and works like a champ. Best of all it is a single, self-contained executable that does require an install.If you truly want free then look at DriveImageXML, http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm It is slower than DriveSnapshot and requires an install.The good news is that both will work on a BartPE boot CD.Good luck.
