The best software for disk imaging (cloning hardrives)

[djcrucial]

Hello my fellow IT pros I need some suggestions. I have not used a imaging software for a while. Could any of you tell me whats new out there and the best?

Thanks

I've only used Symantec Ghost, but I've never had the need to look at anything else.

I've used Drive Image and had no problems, but haven't touched Ghost.

If you are in a Zenworks managed network environment, there is built in imaging facilities in there, but it doesn't apply otherwise.
With regards to Drive image, Symantec have recently taken over Powerquest however, so new versions of drive image will probably not appear, so ghost seems to be the better option. (see news release at
