hi
i am looking for a program which lets you take a image of a partition on a hard drive. and say the image size is  up to 2gb, then make that image bootable onto a disc. so if i have to restore windows (due to virus infection) i can just boot and restore the image on the disc. i have used acronis but its dependent on the software installed. though in acronis i can store the image onto a different partition and restore it using rescue discs, i think having it on a disc is better.
