I don't know much about it, but Ghost 2003 works for me.

I have a pair of WD 160 GB SATA drives in Raid 0 on an Asus P4P800 mainboard
(Intel 865PE chipset). The RAID pair contains the boot partition. (I'll
probably regret that some day, but XP boots 20 seconds faster from the RAID
arrays, so...)

I've ghosted the partitions to an external Firewire (IEEE 1394) enclosure
that holds an 80 GB IDE drive. It's not blindingly fast, taking perhaps 40
minutes to ghost approx. 16 GB, but it works. I've given up directly
ghosting to my (Plextor 708a) DVD drive, because I've gotten too many
errors. Writing the image file segments to the hard drive and burning them
to a DVD+R from Windows (Nero 6) has been quite reliable.

The latest version of Ghost is 9.0, but I haven't seen it.

HTH.
