Windows Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate all include an image backup
program. You can learn more about that at
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...b6baf1033.mspx.
My testing has shown this to be quite reliable.

In other versions of Vista, or other versions of Windows, I have always used
Bootit NG from http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootitng.html. One of the
many things it does is create images that can be burned to CD or DVD
(includes spanning support if needed). They also have a separate app called
Image for Windows that is more robust for creating images.
