HELP! PLease! Windows XP locks up returning from standby OR HIBERNATE

[helpless]

After numerous hours of failure to resolve the problem, I resorted to
clean re-inatall of Win XP.

MY PC originally came with ME preloaded from Dell. They offered a fre
upgrade to Win XP Home. It came with no install instructions. I'
definitely not a techie, and when I called them for help on upgrading
they instructed me to install over ME. BIG MISTAKE!!

I ended up adding 120GB HD, 512MB RAM and a DVD Burner. I loaded X
Home on the new (master) 120GB HD with the old 40GB HD disconnected
re-loaded all my software (took a long time!), re-connected the ol
40GB HD as slave, and moved files from slave to master HD. PC i
working great! And fast!

I've been advised to get Norton Ghost or similar program to burn a cop
of my system when completed for future re-installs if needed.

Can anyone recommed the best program for this purpose?
