Ghosting an Installation

I have systems I need to configure that require approximately 70 applications to be installed and configured.  This process normally takes 20 to 24 face-time hours to complete.  Is there a good process, or software package, where I can create the necessary image and registry entries from an existing configuration?  I'd like to store this image on the server.  We also need to have it be able to be used on Windows XP Professional, Windows 7 (32 & 64 Bit).  I'd like it to be independent of the machine manufacturer, model, and memory amount, if possible.

If you have 70+ machines then maybe look at SCCM also. Not only gives you the deployment side of things but lots of management tools/info/reports after going forward.

The best and fast is "clonezilla" its freeware. I tested it but its linux based.  for xp it take only 5 min to restore
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
