Alternative disk imaging software to Acronis True Image

I normally use True Image boot disk to take an image of a Windows system before any major work.
This means I can boot from the TI disk and restore if anything seriously go wrong.

I have a laptop which must have an odd hard disk in, as True Image boot disk will not recognise it and I'm going to have to wait too long for Acronis to patch the drivers on their product.

What are the alternatives for reliable disk imaging like this (ideally a commercial product rather than Linux DD).

Thanks

With either of these, will I need to setup the boot disk with the right drivers - hoping to get something out of the box and go. Also, need to ensure it handles the partition sector, MBR and can handle multiple partitions (for the recovery partition).

Thanks
