Making a bootable restore disk

[RitualOfTheTrout]

Ok, soon im going to be putting in a new HD and reinstalling the OS and all the apps drivers and what not.. But its such a pain and time consuming getting everything back in order.. so after i get it done this time I want to just make a bootable restore DVD so I dont need to go through all of that again.

So whats some good programs i could use to create an image?

Norton is just the brand name

Norton... :wanker

Do it right and go with Acronis TrueImage. I use it myself and it's awesome. 🙂 Live disk imaging from within Windows XP, now try to make Norton or PowerQuest do that 😛
