So long as the image that you create would fit on a single DVD ( I
doubt that one would fit on a single CD), it should be possible to do
that, but that is not something I have ever actually done myself.

Another option would be to use the wizard to first burn the image to a
set of CDs or DVD/s, then make ISO images of the disks and save that
on a HDD.

Most of what I've been doing with Ghost 2003 has been networked,
peer-to-peer, and stored on two separate HDDs (the second one mirrors
the first, for backup), no CDs or DVDs involved.
