Can anyone suggest any tools that I can use to make an image of the hard disk and restore it at the end of the break?
partimage will do what you want. its on Knoppix. www.knoppix.net
www.partimage.org
on that site is also a number of boot disks that have partimage on them.
ghost is a little bit better than it (more flexible and powerful), however partimage will scrape by for what you need.
NTFS might be a problem, but I think the most recent versions support NTFS.
if you want a knoppix CD, you can drop into our Hornsby office to pick one up anytime - free! (contact me off list for details)
