Backup or Image

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

I'm a software developer for a small company that makes Customer Specific
Machines, ie. each machine and Computer is unique. The Computer is a normal
PC with Windows XP and usually it's configured by the customer so it's part
of a domain.

This means that I can't connect to the computer by TCP/IP, since I'm not
part of that domain and I can't change this ....

For each computer it would be nice to have a DVD from which we can create a
clone of the Computer.

I have looked at Norton Ghost but it means that I have to install Ghost on
the customers computer to be able to create an image.

An more convenient way would be:
I connect an external hard disk via USB to the customer computer.
On this disk I have a program that can take an image of the disk in the
customer computer.
The image can later be burnt down to a bootable DVD, from which a copy of
the customers hard disk can be made.

Is there some program that I can use to make an image of the hard disk,
without installing some program and saving the image on a external disk or
DVD?
