True Image has been favorably reviewed in the computer press. So has my own
favorite, Symantec's Norton Ghost. You can read the reviews at PC World, PC
Magazine or CNet, among other places. BootIt Next Generation (affectionately
called BING) is another excellent choice, however its interface is not as
clear as True Image or Ghost.
Those are essentially your only choices for consumer imaging software. Keep
in mind that disk imaging is a highly technical procedure. Your wife will
need a good deal of preparation in order to use this software correctly.
