Maybe not exactly what you are looking for (because it's not
freeware) but there have been copies of Acronis TrueImage on several
CDs in different computer magazines in 2004 (c't, PC Welt, ...).

I've also been looking for something like Norton Ghost. I priced it today
at CompUSA and it's $99.00. That included Disk Partition which we are not
interested in. I'll keep looking....

Have a look at these .
Clone maxx
http://www.pcinspector.de/clone-maxx/uk/welcome.htm

per minute.
================================
DrvClonerXP
http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?12500000037740
DrvClonerXP clones NTFS and FAT32 drive partitions, for the Windows
2000/XP operating systems, by copying, byte-for-byte, the drive
partition's structure to another partition, creating a perfect
duplicate, without creating an intermediate image file (as with
DrvImagerXP). Requires Windows 2000 or XP.
=================================
X-Clone
http://www.activedwg.com/Download_Links.htm
http://www.simtel.net/product.php?url_fb_product_page=33313
http://www.sover.net/~wysiwygx/WinUtils5.html
XCLONE is a program that can migrate your operating system to a new
larger hard drive. It copies entire drives or directory trees
preserving long file names, attributes and time stamps. DOS,
Windows 3x, Windows 9x and Windows NT supported.
===================================
ImageCast
http://www.sover.net/~wysiwygx/WinUtils3.html
ImageCast LE Clone up to three computers' drives with this new
multicasting technology that uses familiar TCP/IP protocols to cast
an image from one machine to another. ImageCast can clone Windows

======================================
Clone
http://www.sover.net/~wysiwygx/WinUtils1.html
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/diskutl/clone.zip
It is designed to copy every file (no matter what!) from one
directory to another. The source and destination can be either a
floppy, hard disk, CDROM, or network drive. It runs from the MSDOS
real mode and is small enough to fit on the "network boot diskette".
================================
DrvImagerXP
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/DrvImagerXP.shtml
DrvImagerXP creates and restores drive images of FAT32 and NTFS
partitions for the Windows2000/XP operating systems.
It makes backups of your partitions, but does not copy file-by-file,
it doesn't know anything about files!. It creates a mirror image
(but not reversed) of a partition by coping the sector bytes on the
partition. And it does this very fast! You can create images of
different operating system setups and swap them out in just minutes!

How about Savepart (http://www.partition-saving.com/)?
Some of the terminology takes a bit of getting used to (e.g., partitions =
"elements"), but i gave it a quick test recently on a NTFS XP-SP2 partition
and it worked fine. It works from DOS, not from within Windows, but I don't
think you'll find anything freeware that works from Windows. Besides,
imaging from DOS is far safer than working from within Windows. Trying to
image a Windows partition while you're booted into it is a bit like changing
a flat tire while you're still driving down the road. All the Windows-based
imagers have to add a whole lot of overhead just to do what is a
(relatively) simple task from DOS.

Not everyone knows DOS. DOS is meaningless to those of us who started with
W95 or 98.

You don't have to know DOS to use a DOS-based cloning program. Most of them
do have a GUI for you to use. The point of the DOS-based cloners is you can
restore when your Windows OS has crapped out and you can't even boot. These
cloners have their own operating system that lets you restore the image you
have created. I agree that Windows-based imaging programs are only good for
backing up. Even they have a DOS environment for restoring, don't they?

We know that, but we used the Windows part, not the DOS screen. Where would

DOS before XP. The computer boots up with floppy disks or CD that is
preloaded with a version of DOS. Windows is never used during the
restore function. The computer does not boot into Windows.

looks like older programs up to 2000. Doesn't back up system files like
Ghost. Clones to new HD.
<--DOES PARTITIONS. What is a partition? My HP came with a C: and a D:
Recovery drive. Which is saved? Not much info there for the product that's
helpful to someone new to this. Does it do a "system" files restore like
Norton Ghost in the case of a crash so you don't have to spend hours getting
everything back to normal? It doesn't say....
