Need software to make mirror image copy of hard drive.

I run my desktop PC under Windows XP Pro SP2.

I have two 500 GB hard drives. The second drive is intended only for use in

backing up the first drive.

I need to find a software package that will make a mirror copy of drive 1 to drive 2

and I also want to be able to create a boot-from-CD disk that would allow me to

restore the drive 2 to drive 1 in the event that I ever lost the contents of drive 1. I plan

to run the backup job every three or four days.

In summary, drive 2 is a backup for drive 1 and I need the software to be able

to perform the backup-restore functions as required. What software will do this?

I want the best software for the job and I will buy it as needed.

Thanks! I downloaded the Acronis True Image Home user guide .pdf and have been reading it. That is just what I need, and from the documentation it looks like great software. I will try their free download, and assuming I like it then I will buy it. Thanks again.
