Or you can use a run-time Linux CD (or boot floppies) and use the "dd" program
in Linux to image your drive. I built an imaging solution with a modified
Slackware 8.0 run-time CD (disk 2) this way. Its biased for Dell (and all
they're RAID stuff) but if your hardware is not too proprietary you can pretty
much do things right with the stock CD or newer boot floppies...

You could even compress the image to save space.
