Depends how much stuff the OP has. If it's just the base OS install with a few apps, sure.When you're done, you'll have an image file, a single solid file (each imaging application uses a different format but the concept is always the same). You can burn that to a DVD if you wish
You use the same program, is what he's saying.yes that helps A LOT thanks SO MUCH! Now what program lets me boot into it from a restart like you said and create a bit by bit image file? Do I also need that same program again to reinstall the burnt clone i made?
I've heard a lot of talk in the past about windows SID's and how you can't have multiple SIDs on the same network, but is that only on a domain? We clone at work and have no issues at all (Novell). We use Ghost and it works OK.
Are these programs clearing the SIDS out or is it just not an issue on any non-Microsoft Networks?

So I have to have the app installed in order to reinstall my backup disk?
See, I set up 1 machine, then image that on to 30 other machines. Everything is fine and there are not issues. So what's the deal with Windows SID (big deal) then? You as well as other says it's a bad thing but I just don't see what's going wrong in my situation that would require each machine to have a new SID.Having cloned SIDs in a network can cause some issues and should always be avoided. If you are cloning a computer just for a single backup then these methods will be fine. If you cloning a computer to create a master image that will be used to deploy multiple machines you will need to sysprep the install before capturing the image. Sysprep is a very handy tool but it takes some time to learn how it works, especially in vista. As an alternative you could try NewSID(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897418.aspx) I have never tried it as we only sysprep our images.
As long as you change the computer name and join to the domain with a NEW name and everything it should work fine. SIDs don't change when you log onto domains.See, I set up 1 machine, then image that on to 30 other machines. Everything is fine and there are not issues.

Im currently using Acronis True Image Home 2009 to create the img file. It's creating it from with in windows. Now how would I create the image before i boot into windows?
EDIT: How would i set this up to create a img file that can fit on a DVD5?
Yeah, every machine has a unique name. I noticed sometimes when a system is brought up with an identical name it gives you a little warningAs long as you change the computer name and join to the domain with a NEW name and everything it should work fine. SIDs don't change when you log onto domains
EDIT: I tried to do the Bootable Rescue Media but i ended up with a 62MB iso which didnt seem right.....
but im wanting to know how to make a clone of my HD and burn the ISO onto a disk... Thats why it had to be more that just 62MB
So how do i get to make an ISO clone of my HD? lol please dont flame haha
no no its easy all i needed to know was the basic step of the booting off the disk and making the ISO from the boot menu on the disk. Im 100% now.
EDIT: One more question. Once i boot off the disk where would I go to make the ISO and will it fit on a DVD5?
Alright guys can you help me with something? I have Acronis True Image Home; I used it to copy my original HD to my new TB HD. However, I'm not quite sure how the backup feature works. On my TB HD I have already used most of it, I have 153 GB left does that mean if I want to make a backup of my HD I'll need to find a medium that's that size?
If you've got ~835GB of content on that 1TB drive, get ready to buy another 1TB to back it up on...
That's not software, I already know that: it's movies and music, already compressed materials which will not get any smaller so, yes, it will require nearly the same amount of space to back it up to as it already requires.
Actually, no. Mostly games.
