I'm putting the finishing touches on my new Windows 7 machine and wondering what the best software out there would be to take a fresh image of my new hard drive/windows 7 configuration so later should anything happen, I can simply re-image the hard drive and not have to take the time to install and configure everything.

I tried drivesnapshot but didn't have much success with it. Many thanks.

Windows 7 has a built-in image backup and restore capability which you might want to try. You can access it via:

Start -> All Programs -> Maintenance -> Backup and Restore

Then use the "Create A System Image" link to do the backup and "Create a system repair disk" to create a bootable DVD you can use to restore the image.

That is fantastic, I had no idea that was there. Thank you!
