Programs For Creating Hardrive Images?

What are some good programs to create a disk image of a hardrive for reformating uses? I know Symantec makes one, but I've heard very mixed reviews on it. I basicaly just want to reformat my computer, set the setting the way I like, and then transfer the drive image over to either a DVD or if it won't fit then onto a USB hardrive. Any Suggestions?

I've been using Powerquest DriveImage for the past 3 years and it's been great for me. Current version I'm using is 2002 and it works great. Let's you do it streat out of Windows or you can create a bootdisk and do it from DOS. Before v2002 I was using v5 which didn't has as many bells and whatnot, but they both helped me out when I was supporting a huge userbase and I've also been using DI on my 4 home systems on a continual basis what with how many times I have to "reload" Windows from screwing with it too much.

I use Acronis True Image....

Did PowerQuest get bought out by Symantec?

Yeah, Symantec bought PowerQuest two or three years ago.
