In addition, to creating an MBR, the other thing that I think is critical (as I learned the hard way when using the old Norton Ghost) is that the program not lose data on the original disk in case of a power failure.  The old Drive Image program (now Norton Ghost) met both conditions and as I recall when I looked into programs a couple of years ago Acronis True Image did as well.

Ara,
 
The key feature is ability to restore backup even if you CAN NOT BOOT to Windows.
 
I am afraid that with MS products you need to boot to windows to run them :-( And this is show stopper.
 
Acronis True Image, allows to restore when you can not boot, because it
creates self-bootable CD-ROM that runs even if master boot record on your hard disk is destroyed.

Question about system Backup (MS utility with XP) vs. Disk Image software.
 
I gather both would be OK for fixing a corrupted disk, but Disk image will be necessary if System disk needs to be replaced.
 
Is that correct?
 
Thanks
