Which software would you recomend for a noob like me.

What i want to do is Setup my computer the way i want then Use an image creater to create and image of my computer at its current position. Then if i ever want to format I will just revert back to the image i created without having to setup all my files again. How would i do it, and what would you recomend.

My choice always was Symantec Norton Ghost 10.0

I recommend Ghost, Ghost, and Ghost.

I recommend Ghost, Ghost, and Ghost.

YES, YES, YES

And if you cannot afford Commercial programs, PING (Partimage Is Not Ghost):

So nice that we all see the same thing

I'll use Acronis True Image. Never use Ghost 9.0 or 10.0 for that matter. Its slow, and its so unreliable. One time I decided to modify the partition size and the next thing when its done, the partition won't even boot up. POS software.

No offense, but I'm fed up with Norton. Whats with their products that are so slow?

R-Drive Image is another nice one, been using both Ghost and Acronis but I think R-drive feels more light-weight and booting from rescue cd is blazing fast.

i think this is a good comparison

Acronis True Image really great one
