I don't know which is the best, but i prefer TrueImage.
Regarding your second point. When TrueImage Is installed you can create a
bootable TrueImage CD with which you can boot your computer and
load/reinstall an image from another partition, physical drive or a drive
on a network, without there being an OS already running. The prog that
loads from the CD allows you to select a network interface and give it an
IP to access other drives over a network. However, I have no personal
knowledge of `external' drives so I can't really help on that point.
It's worth noting that the TrueImage `bootable' can sometimes be specific
to the PC it was created on. I think it takes note of the hardware/
drivers etc. I've made CDs that would work on several PCs, but not all
I've tried to use it on.
In general I've found it to be no bother (on a blank h/disk) to load a
basic XP, install trueimage and use that to load an image and `overwrite'
itself.
