Windows XP 64bit and Ghost

I'm planning on doing my yearly hard drive format tonight. I just received my copy of Windows XP 64 bit as well (anybody else running it? how is it?). I was going to get everything installed and then ghost it so that I could do this much quicker next time. The problem is that I don't have a copy of Norton Ghost. So my question is: What's a good program to use (preferably freeware/open source/shareware)?

Often the setup software that comes with a disk drive includes a partition copy feature.
fwiw, I've seen ghost lately for almost free after rebate on techbargains.com.
I suppose xp64 uses regular ntfs and requires no special copy program?

New problem: I can't get the ATI Catalyst 5.7 x64 drivers to install. I go through the user agreement and custom/express installation, and then the "Configuring Windows Installer" thing finishes, and nothing else appears. It just quits in the middle of installation. Anybody have an idea?
