Sure,its actually pretty easy if you have the right programs.I use both Powerquest Drive Image and Partition Magic.The way I do it is to create a small partition,about 700mb,on my hard drive. Then,using Drive Image,I create a image of my C: drive and save it to that small partition,which is D: drive.After rebooting the computer I use Adaptec Easy CD Creator and burn that image on the D: drive on to a fresh CD-R disk.You may have to use compression when you use Drive Image so you create an image that is no larger than 650mb capacity of the CD-R disk.Then when I have a disaster or switch hard drives,I can use the Drive Image boot disks to restore that Image of my C: drive.
