If you have a Seagate or Maxtor HDD, you could have a look here, don't know about DVD unless Nero or something is used: http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/05/22/one-of-the-best-hdd-utilities-is-free
Have you tried paragon drive backup express? I've used the pro version with success, the express version is the free version. The other "free" imaging software require you to make a bartpe cd to boot the computer, which can be a little complicated to do. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=217534
