Imaging Software

We have been using Imagecast for a couple of years and it works fine (most
of the time), but the problem is that it is incredibly sensitive to cloning
hard drives from different manufacturers.  We try to purchase computers that
match (HP Vectra 400s lately) but sometimes HP will change hard drives --
all the specs the same, just a different manufacturer.

The result is that the imaged hard drive is basically toast.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?  I know when I researched this a
couple of years ago Ghost and Imagecast were both up there at the top and
for some reason I did not choose Ghost at that time.

We are also wondering about using this type of software to make images of
our Windows 2000 servers.  Is this a good idea?
