HELP! PLease! Windows XP locks up returning from standby O..

After numerous hours of failure to resolve the problem, I resorted to a
clean re-inatall of Win XP.

MY PC originally came with ME preloaded from Dell. They offered a free
upgrade to Win XP Home. It came with no install instructions. I'm
definitely not a techie, and when I called them for help on upgrading,
they instructed me to install over ME. BIG MISTAKE!!

I ended up adding 120GB HD, 512MB RAM and a DVD Burner. I loaded XP
Home on the new (master) 120GB HD with the old 40GB HD disconnected,
re-loaded all my software (took a long time!), re-connected the old
40GB HD as slave, and moved files from slave to master HD. PC is
working great! And fast!

I've been advised to get Norton Ghost or similar program to burn a copy
of my system when completed for future re-installs if needed.

Can anyone recommed the best program for this purpose?

You'll need a third-party imaging program.
