Hey Guys:

A couple of weeks ago my hard drive failed and I had to order a new one from Dell. Well While I was at it I got another one from BestBuy (Same size 320GB) since my laptop has a chassis for two HDD's.

Well long story short after going through that nonsense I would like to get some sort of backup software for my laptop. I have that Dell 10GB of Data Storage, but that's not gonna help. I want to make a disc images of my HDD's to make it easier to reinstall my OS without have to use all 4 of the Dell installation disc. Something that can fit on either a Dual layer DVD or Blu-ray DVD (since I have that option).The Toshiba (that I also have) has RAM Disc Images for reinstalling the OS and they only take about 2hrs compared to all day with Dell.

What's the best way to do it?
