Try to buy it though, and you get sent to:

Drive ImageT has been discontinued, but all features, and more,
are now available in Norton GhostT 9.0!

Drive Image 7 didn't work for me until I installed .NET
Framework as a part of Visual Studio .NET. Then it worked
fine. (I run Windows XP Pro). I was advised by PowerQuest
to use DI 2002 if v.7 didn't work for me, but I could never
get the /IDE=ON switch to turn on DMA, so it ran really
slowly. Right now, I have no complaints about Drive Image 7,
but I don't do any automated backup procedures, so I can't
comment about that.

Norton Ghost 9.0 is advertised to NOW HAVE DRIVE IMAGE TECHNOLOGY. Also, it
allows Windows backups of drive images. I have done an image of one of my
secondary drives and it stayed completely within Windows, no DOS mode. I
have not tried that on my Windows XP drive.
