Since it reads the disk bit by bit, it can create an image of any operating system and any file system. Besides, it's free (under BSD style license)."

That looks really promising! I wonder if Greg would consider using it? Norton Ghost cost a lot of money.

The school already has licenses for Norton Ghost. Academic Computing gets new cds everytime a new version is released.
