Acronis has options for doing incremental updates now too. I know about wanting to start fresh, that's why I try to capture an image that is just the way I like it with exactly what I need and nothing I don't.

When I want a fresh install I like starting <strong>fresh</strong>. It also gives me an opportunity to re-evaluate which applications I need, and which ones I don't.

But also consider if you use something like Acronis True Image you can always have a restore disc or external hard drive on tap at any moment and then you would not lose it. When I install new systems I love using this method so I can easily take a computer to a known working state at any time I need to. There are also free tools that can to the same thing like Drive Image XML (http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm). Also, if you have a Maxtor or Seagate drive you can get Acronis for free. Just some food for thought. Yes, and that is often why I don’t use them.

Version 6.6. of Ashampoo Burning Studio seems to be free as well:

[download.com]

I haven’t tried it (beyond installation), so can’t vouch how good (or bad) it is.

Ashampoo supports Blu-ray so it meets Ryan's requirements. The interface seems kind of basic, but I am sure for many they will find it quite useful. Besides who can argue with free. I forgot ImgBurn, that is another very useful burning program. Thanks Alek, that worked. Ashampoo supports Blu-ray so it meets Ryan’s requirements.
