backing up a lin/win box via drive imaging

[Byron Sonne]

Greetings,

I've got a laptop that is split between RH 7.2 (configured for 
wardriving) and win2k (for my Cisco exam simulation software).

I'm looking for a freeware or free-for-personal-use rescue disk/cd or 
software that I can boot from and that will create an image of the whole 
drive and be able to direct it to an NFS or SMB share or something like 
that.

If the drive ever gets fried, I'd like to be able to drop a new one in, 
of an equal or larger size, boot off the same (or another complementary) 
rescue disk/cd and copy the image on down, and once done *poof* be able 
to reboot and get back to where I was.

I know things like this exist but of the ones I've tried I didn't have 
much luck or didn't like (i.e. Mondo/Mindi). Would people care to 
recommend their favourites, if they have any? Something easy enough that 
anyone with an MBA or an MCSE could use it would be nice ;)

Regards,
Byron
