You'll need the Norton Ghost program, it runs on DOS only, you can download a trial from Symantec web site, you need to have two hard drives or your primary hard drive splitted in at least two partitions, run ghost and choose "from hard drive to image", from partition one to partition two, if the size of the first partition is smaller than 700MB, you are OK, but if the disc image is larger than that, you'll need to compress the image to fit on a CD, after creating the ghost image, if you have a win9x boot disk edit the autoexec to run the ghost program, or you can type on the command line, have ready the Ghost program and the boot disk then you need to burn it on a CD, make it bootable by choosing the bootable CD from your burning program, if you don't have an image of the boot sector, choose the create from floppy disk, put the disk on the A drive an burn the disc, after is on the CD try it, if possible on a computer that you don't care to erase all the OS (Ghost writes to the hard drive by erasing everything on it and writing the image on the CD), just remember that if the image was made from a partition, you have to choose "from image to disk" and choose partition one (you must have at least two partitions to restore the image).
