[GLLUG] Hard Disk Imaging

[Jeffrey Benton]

Clay,

This may be wandering off topic a bit, but is some form of virtualization an
option for you?  For instance, VMWare or VirtualPC.  I have tried the image
route and the virtualization route and much prefer the latter for testing as
it allows me to work with entire disk images as a file as well as use Undo
Disks.

Subject: [GLLUG] Hard Disk Imaging

I'm looking for a reliable, fast tool for hard disk imaging.  I'm not
wanting to pay any money.

I have an NTFS drive that I need to re-virgin several times a day while
testing an install.  I have access to Norton Ghost, but to be honest version
10, which I'm using, is a major pain in the tail.  I'm currently using g4u
off the Ultimate Boot CD, but it takes half an hour to re-virgin the disk
and that can get old when it's a small tweak that I need to make in my
install.

I absolutely need the solution to place the images on a network and retrieve
them from a network, because we don't have a machine with a spare hard disk
to store the image.  I need it to work reliably with NTFS (PartImage comes
with gigantic warning signs about NTFS).
