RESTORE premise takes too much space on my computer .. even if it is
just a single restore point. And, having tried it twice before, I never
found it to be satisfactory... always something missing.

On the other hand, either choice of GHOST.EXE or TeraByte's Image.exe
are the cheapest $20 worth of insurance. Flawless, idiot-proof GUI
ensures a perfect image capture and restore, even to a totally different
computer (as long as the new harddrive is same size or larger).
