Acronis True Image is well.

For imaging Paragon Hard Disk Manager v8.0. I use the Pro version recovery CD.

For cloning Acronis MigrateEasy v7. I use the bootable CD here as well.

norton ghost is great very simple

Can you create a bootable image DVD to restore to? :ermm: using Norton Ghost?

[zapjb]

Restore from, I suppose that's your meaning.

You might want to give Paragon Hard Disk Manager v8.0. (Pro version recovery CD) a shot. It makes bootable images. And ime has perfomed better than Ghost & ATI.

I alwasy use Ghsot to clone HD from scratch and Acronis to backup my HDs

I'm finding it easier just to use a Xp slipstreamed disk such as Black or Indigo when I reformat , its so much faster and so easy the cat could do it . Mind you all my pics and music are burned to DVD already .

ghost is hte best of all.it's simple and reliable.i didn' have any problem with it.also ghost compress the image very well.

ghost is easy to use but it doesn't support Raid and the older version of ghost doesn't support SATA Drives as well

i use Acronis True Image it's not easy as ghost but it has more option and support raid & sata drives

[rodrigof]

I always use Ghost to clone HD from scratch in new HDD installations and Acronis TI to do my backups
