Best Imaging Software for 2000 & XP...

[Jon Anderson]

Here at work we have been using Norton Ghost 7 to image all of our PCs.
We support around 400 or so...

Are there any "newer" and better products out for disk imaging? We
just ordered Ghost 10 but that looks to be only for system backup.

I would like a product that I can put a base load onto a computer and
use that image to image all new computers (regardless of the different
chipsets). Ghost 7 works ok with this but we are having some problems
with XP and ghost.

Acronis Drive Image is FAR better and you can do the backup while windows continues to run,
YES it gets ALL files, even open and locked,

We use Powerquest Drive Image Pro and/or v2i Protector. Keep in mind that if
you are using Active Directory you should do a sysprep before you deploy the
image to ensure that each machine gets a unique SID.
