Yes a ghosting program would be your best bet. The most popular is norton ghost, but I am sure there are other out there. But if you ever change your rig, you would have to reghost.

Well, since you hate norton I'll take you in as a fresh recruit in my "Let's hate the UberCorp" Unit.
To be a member of that sexy force you need the best equipment your comp can get...for free: Some nice freebie that might brake you if you don't know how to use it Or get some 15 days free trial prgs since you need to use it only once

I agree, Norton Ghost is the best, u have to make sure, u only got a pure system in your C disk anyway...u can't backup all your program and online-games all together, it will take huge space anyway..... no software could help u , if you do that

Be wary of cloning disks, because if you run 2 identical operating systems on 2 different PC's Microsoft will screw over your Windows Genuine Validation certificate and nullify both your operating systems.
If you intend to use it as a backup, then I would suggest you backup your files and not the drive in its entirity. Create a backup schedule so once a month you have a full backup and once a week to do an incremental. All the tools to do this are FREE and are included in System Tools within Start | Programs | Accessories on most Windows Operating Systems. |

I got a bootable USB stick with WinXP on it. I never had to use it but I heard they are rippin since you don't have to install win anymore. Just plug it in and start up your PC
