Partimage works pretty well although not exactly as you described.  It requires a linux server to serve the images I believe.  There may be a way to use a livecd of some sort to do it locally as you described.

Otherwise the not free/opensource solution is Norton Ghost.

Hi,

OK, here's my deal.  My girlfriend wants to use windoze, yes it has
already died from a bug and it took a while to get it all back to
working, again.  This is what I want to do to make it easy when this
happens again, this is windoze so it will happen, likely sooner rather
than later too.

I want to be able to back her drive up to a CD, the whole thing even if
it takes a few CDs.  When it dies again, I want to be able to put in the
first CD and it boot and reinstall everything from there with little
interaction from me.

Is there such a creature?  Please tell me it is free.  I'm used to Linux
remember.

I can't believe I let her spend almost $200.00 on that crappie OS.  <

I just have to keep working on this area.

Thanks

Dale

Oh, I'm still looking for help with samba share so I can copy her
documents and such to my rig, since mine seems to always work.  :D
Again, sorry to ask a windoze question here but it's not like I ask
anywhere else.
