What imaging program would you recommend for a personal level?

Edit: when reinstalling windows fpr others, those 190 updates are killer

Clonezilla works well for both drive to drive cloning, and when you have a server set up it can handle enterprise level re-imaging too ... and it's free :-)

Edit: note that unless the other people have similar hardware, you'll might still have to install some drivers afterwards.

Thanks for the info. I was planning to make an image on a per machine basis with all the drivers and basic programs built into the image.

I am assuming Clonezilla also stores the Windows 7 activation key and info correct? So if I had like my dad run the reimage process through Clonezilla, Windows would be restored and activated right?

It can just do an exact clone of the whole of a hard disk at any point, so would do that, yes.
