I just reloaded XP and all my programs. Going to image the drive so I don't go through this hassle again. Was thinking about Acronis or Ghost. Anybody have any other favorites?

You can't go wrong with either of those 2. Kudos to you for imaging your drive too!:)

I used Acronis and found it easy to use. Make sure you have a second drive for your back-up image.

I've used Ghost for years. I set up a backup schedule to an external drive and let it go on it's way.
Only had to use the backup once, but it's well worth it if a virus takes you out.

Acronis is my choice. Used them for years.

The free Seagate utility for disc copying when installing a new hard drive IS Acronis. Works great and is simple to use.
