Dave,

I have used most versions of Norton Ghost, plus another similar product
called "PowerQuest DriveImage". Both are straightforward to use, work
flawlessly (with good hardware), and enable you to restore you OS from a
known good state. My kid could use drive imaging. I cannot imagine why the
PCWorld guy found Ghost hard to use ( Well, actually I can :-] )
