Norton Ghost

[blueOrb]

ive been using norton ghost 2004 for like 3-4 months ..... damn its the best thing thats happened to me ...... i have all my s\w istalled with all custom setting and all burnt on 3 cds ..... so whenever i need to format just pop in the cd and within 8-9 mins i have a newly formatted drive with everthin installed just like i want them to be ...... it even keeps a track of all registry setting and the services u disable for efficient performance and all .....

simple to use, easy to understand, and very effective

i would rate it 4 on a scale of 5 ....

I've been using Norton Ghost at the office for quite some years now. However, if you want a tiny, lightweight, free solution to do much the same thing, your answer is DriveImageXml. Not as user friendly as NG but does the job well enough if you know how to go about it.
