Cecil,
I have an old Win98SE version that I've used for several years and made 
many, many
backups/images with it. It is pre Norton and I don't remember the name of 
the company.
I have a newer version that came as part of the software package with a 
motherboard.
I haven't even opened it yet, but the package says it supports everything 
from Win95
through Win2000 and Linux. Since this is an OEM version, it states on the 
package
that it may not be used on other PCs. However, if the drive that you want 
to back up
or create an image of is simply installed in the same system, there should 
be no problem.
