Norton (Symantec) Ghost is great! It actually comes bundled with System
Works Professional. Or you can purchase it by itself:
http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/

There is another software out there that is very popular which is Drive
Image from Powerquest. But as of December 5, 2003 PowerQuest was aquired by
Symantec (see Ghost). http://www.symantec.com/press/2003/n031208.html

I have worked for many companies that employ the use of Ghost on a regular
basis!
