I use Acronis TrueImage, but others (Ghost) will do too I'm sure...
Just had a torrid weekend trying to install a Dvico FusionHDTV Lite card (I think I got a dud card, but that is for another thread).
Long story short: my disk images (Fresh XPProSP2, fresh MCE2005 and latest working MediaPortal setup) saved me A LOT of time and hassle. Frantically mucking around with hardware and software with just an hour to go before a weekly program is due to be recorded, I simply restored my latest working MP image and everything works it's as if nothing happened all weekend (actually, nothing DID happen all weekend!!!).
