Jeff, you might also consider trying Acronis True Image. I had been
using Power Quest products since DI 2.0 and swore by them, however, in
recent times I had many troubles using Drive Image 2002 with WinXP

It still works great with Win98, but I now use True Image with XP and
consider it a great product for use with modern Windows systems.
