I used Ghost a long time ago before Norton took it over. Haven't used it since, the price went wayyyyy up! I now use Power Quest's Drive Image as the other one Gandalf mentioned and am very happy with it. I've owned it for at least 2 years now and that same Version is still working fine with my XP Pro SP2 images. It works with all Versions of FAT, FAT32, and NTFS drives that I've come across so far. I've probably used it on at least 5 different OS's (95, 98, ME, 2K, and XP) and at leat 10 different hardware configs/platforms. Have reproduced drive images at least 200 times with it. Has compression features as well which are handy.
One suggestion tho, make sure the drive you put your backup partition image on is formatted FAT. That makes it simple to boot from a floppy and restore your orig image. Not a requirement but a whole lot simpler to do.
It was probably the best $50 I ever spent (besides SEIV of course...
)
