    Clonezilla Live would be an alternative to True Image / Ghost, and it's free.

  • I mean - make system stable & patched (updates); create a System Restore Point (windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/…) then make a image of this ready, patched OS - in case of crash You will be able to back to previous state. Commented Aug 1, 2011 at 20:48
  • #2 You dont need fdisk or other software. At this point (farm1.static.flickr.com/46/124152337_d75f22de5c_o.jpg) You delete all partitions (backup first) and then make them by new. Finally format first used by OS (rest of them You can format in windows after installation) Commented Aug 1, 2011 at 20:53
