Im about to format... when Im done reinstalling Id like to make an image of my HD onto a dvd (i wont install much, just bare min)

whats the best program to use ?

I can backup to a networked drive if its easier

(ill come back here when Im done)

ghost id have thought

Easiest thing to do is use Ghost to backup to a networked drive.

Then you can have a bootable CD from which you can just re-ghost the image from the networked drive

Acronis Truimage is good, you can use it from within windows and works well. I restored a backup just after Christmas using this and again it worked flawlessly

If you are cheap though use the copy of ghost that was probably supplied with your mobo.
