Otherwise you can use Acronis True image and use the free trial:

You could try Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition

Dumped Norton/Symantec Ghost for Clonezilla as its quicker and more reliable.

Fantastic product, and I know that version 5 will be out soon, which is supposed to be feature packed

I've been asked to have a look at this - I have put it off as the site looks pretty basic, so I assumed the software would be too.

Looks can be deceiving, I've been using it for years and I can only recall one time it ever failed me and I suspect it might have been the hard disk anyway.

The interface could do with some work but if you pay attention and do it a few times you'll be fine. I can do it in my sleep now.

I've been setting up RIS (its the best that we've got) for doing the domain PC's but was asked to look at this for the non domain ones. I will make sure that I take a proper look next time.

As a side note, RIS has been superceded by Windows Deployment Service. I believe you can get the update free for Server 2003 via the Windows AIK.
