How do I create a set of recovery disks to restore and "ghost" multiple field laptops.

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP Professional, SP3, DELL, Vostro, 1500
I have just received a shipment of 10 dell laptops (identical hardware) that I need to prepare and send out to different field representatives in different countries.  I would like to prepare one and image the rest, all the while being able to create a cd/dvd of the images for emergency recovery in the field.  I currently have norton ghost 12 (1 License) and do not have the resources to purchase a copy for every machine, as we are a non-profit organization.

Thanks in advance
