Looking for opinions as to what software works best for imaging / cloning an
xp workstation. I would like the ability to boot off a disk created by the
software and restore my image without errors. I had been looking at norton
ghost and acronis true image. Any opinions welcome

Thanks

I use Image for DOS (IFD). I create bootable restore DVD disks and also save
an image to an external USB hard drive at times.
For cloning a drive when I replaced a drive I used the free utility
Copywipe.

There is no answer to your question. I use Acronis as do many others and
find
it is easy to use, does the job and is inexpensive, I suspect Ghost and
others are much the same. Just pick one, try it and if it does what you
need then it will be the 'best'.

What's the best car, a Ford or a Chevrolet. It's a question of
opinion and preference! I use Acronis TrueImage. It lets you
create a bootable CD.

Still using DriveImage 7.0 here. The installation CD for windows is also
the boot CD as well. Yes, I made a backup CD, and an ISO image as well.
Most of my hardware is 2 years old. That may be a factor from the boot CD
for newer stuff, not sure.

Or if you buy it in the package, it's already in there (a bootable CD).

Well, I just read a few reviews that claim norton ghost 14 still doesnt work
with Vista- and the symantec website is misleading, listing it under
specifications but qualifying the stamente with a small print type
*additional requirements may apply* Done... Acronis wins...
