Just wondering if there is any free utility in making your own bootable recovery disks...

Test it and let me know if it's good:

Drive Image 2002 was the only good one ever. Symantec killed it to eliminate it as competition for Ghost and so it hasn't been upgraded to work reliably with chipsets released in the past 4-5 years or so. All others I've ever tested pay-for or not, suck.
Try that one & let me know.

I agree. I have Ghost 2003, but that's only good for IDE drives, SATA you're SOL.
I'll let you know on this one today!
Thank you for the reply!

What do you mean by recovery? For general use I swear by Ultimate Boot Cd For Windows...

Everybody should take the modest amount of time to compile one.

He wants to back up his operating system hard drive partition and the boot CD you linked to appears to use this software to do it:

Looking to try to make recovery CD/ DVD's for clients. Just in case their HD takes a dump, or the system takes a dive due to a corrupted file...
Something the end user could do without the help of me..

ah... uhm..... i know Ghost used to do this... make bootable rescue cd's.... and from some quick searching last night, DriveImage XML can be used to do this in combination with a PE environment.
