Softaware for creating image of a hard drive

elrasho · 19 May 2011 at 15:14

I'm installing Windows 7 Pro on a new hard drive this weekend, and once I've installed all the Windows Updates I'd like to create an image of the hard drive.

Can anyone recommend some software that will allow me to do this, and then also allow me to burn the image on a new hard drive at a future date?

acronis is excellent for doing this sort of thing, and is very easy to use.

Will this allow me to burn the image on a new hard drive, I cant see that option on their website

Guys, Windows 7 has this feature built in...

Cant find it, the MS forums all talk about Arconis though
