I've created an account just to respond to this message.
I too am looking for an imaging program and have tried all of the above mentioned programs on the UBCD.
As far as I could tell, they could only back up an entire disk.
My laptop only has one internal disk split into 2 partitions. With my fresh Windows reinstall C: is about 4Gb, so I want to create an image of this partition and burn it to a DVD. I could first write the image to my D: partition and then burn it to a DVD in Windows if necessary.
But the key is that I have to be able to restore the partition from the DVD disk.
Is there anything for doing this, or will I have to buy Norton's Ghost or something similar? Obviously I'd rather use freeware, and I'm surprised there isn't anything on the UBCD for doing this already.

Nah it doesn't, but if you defragment it and fill the empty sectors with zeros, the compression ratio should be great.

Well this may be a bit off topic but I recently found a tool called Drivemage XML from http://runtime.org.
Its free and there is a plugin for it to be included with BartPE. I have tested it on a few machines and it works good.
You can make a partiton backup while in Windows. It uses volume locking or shadow copy to copy the files in use..
You can save it as one big file or split it into cd sized files. Works only on Windows XP home or pro.

I'd still prefer to use a little dos or linux based tool while the partition is not in use :hmm:
I think it's safer whatever precautions could be taken with this tool, and at least it's not dependent on Windows.
