Norton\'s ghost is a utility to do it...there is also many many other\'s. Be carefull though...if it break\'s you can\'t just ghost over top of it.

Just make a boot (floppy ) disk with cd support with the Norton \"Ghost boot wizard.exe\"
Start up with the bootable floppy , and write disk or partition to image on a cdr
Good luck !

It\'s part of Norton Ghost 2002  .
I don\'t know exactly what it costs to get Norton Ghost , I suppose it depends were you buy it .
I just saw there is a new version of it Norton Ghost 2003 for about 70$ .
I must mention there are other brands besides Symantec selling  imaging software ( Powerquest  and others ),but I never used one of them so I cannot compare .

Just pointing out the obvious. You could then put that boot.img on cd with diskem1x.bin and have it all on a cd so you don\'t have to rely on that floopy...but then again you might not have a bootable BIOS
