I've used Ghost, running off a bootable DOS disk, to accomplish exactly what you're trying to do. Usually I prefer to put images on CD-Rs instead of a hard drive, so I can rebuild a server without cracking the case, but I've done it both ways. I've also written images to an external USB 2.0 hard drive.

Some versions of Ghost do run from Windows now, but I prefer to run it from a DOS disk. It may work fine from Windows, but I've been doing it with DOS disks for years, so I've always been reluctant to mess with success. Look for a file called ghost.exe that's around a meg in size on your Ghost CD. That's your DOS executable.
