Disk Image of Laptop hard drive

[EM 0]

I have a company laptop with NT 4.0 SP5. I want to make an image of the hard drive so if/when I screw something up I can restore it to its original state. System specs are as follows:

 

Compaq Armada M700

P2-366

128meg RAM

8.0g hd

external CDrom

unknown NIC

unknown modem

 

Any suggestions? I am thinking that I can image it off through my network with Ghost and then burn it to CD but I am not sure if I can access the external CD from a dos prompt nor do I know if I can access the NIC from a dos prompt.

 

Thanks for your help.

The Compaq site has DOS drivers for both CD and network here. I'd recommend testing the accessability of both [bold]before[/bold] I did anything destructive...

 

Also, a self-extracting DOS boot disk can be had from www.dell.com - just search for the support file CDENAB.EXE
