Hard Drive image software needed

What is a good hard drive image software that i can use to make an image of the hard drive after installing the OS, drivers, apps etc that i can then put onto a DVD and use in the future to retore the image back to when it was first done. Free would be good!

Acronis True Image. It's not free, but it's damn well worth every penny.

End thread.

So, this will allow me to make an image of a new installation and then restore that image at some future date from an image stored on a bootable DVD?

Try Macrium Reflect Free edition, works well with Windows 7.

I was using Acronis, but the version I have does not work with Windows 7. Macrium Reflect seems to work very well, has a nice and simple interface and is free.

And i can make an image and put that onto a DVD as a bootable one? The, recovering my system back to original?

I want a system that i can make an image of the OS and drivers and apps onto a DVD and then use that to do a recovery in the future if something goes wrong.
