    create restore disks?

    I need to create a restore disk for a Win XP machine, so if a machine goes south I can just restore and be good to go. and if possible I need to be able to put it on CDs or DVD.

    any ideas of software I can use to do this?
    (perferable cheap software, as I have little budget to work with)
    I like trafic lights

    Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image will provide this facility.

    There is also the native restore functionailty in XP (Pro version only). Be aware that this doesn't restore an image as the two software packages that Archer suggested however. It restores the OS to a previously taken restore point; therefore any applications / drivers, etc. installed after the restore point will no longer be there.

    It doesn't affect any data you may have changed since however.

    Similar idea but not quite as complete as using true imaging software.
