Hey, I just had to do a re-install of windows and all my software......

pain in the butt!


So I wanting to create an Hard Drive image so next time it won't take so long.

Any good applications that are free?

Acronis True Image is not free, but it's very good. It's backup options are also excellent. I think it runs about $35 (if purchased online).

citrixmeta

how about this?

That's restore and recovery software. Metomeya's looking for imaging software.

Somebody should click my link and see that it does complete drive imaging from a bootable linux LiveCD.

Alright, I did click your link, I did read it...I am impressed. I like having the complete operation run from a CD - no OS needed on a hard drive to execute. Have you tried this Ghost4Linux?
