I'm looking for an OS disk imaging software like Norton Ghost that can back up my OS and data. But I want one that can do 98SE (if it could do 95 that'd also be handy). Does anyone know of one?

Norton (Symantec) Ghost is able to image any version of Windows, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS. You need the DOS executable Ghost.exe which is included with the Windows versions of Ghost. Also available as a standalone Enterprise version and sometimes bundled with OEM motherboards.
-
Is there any way I can do it for free? From my knowledge I'd have to buy Norton Ghost to use it. I just want to image this once, and not buy a software to do it.

Is there no way I can do this without paying?

I know of 2 free all-Windows disk imagers...
Partimage was developed as a free alternative to Norton Ghost
The PING ("Partimage Is Not Ghost") project

It is a Linux ISO image that you burn to a CD and boot from (whereas Ghost you did the same using MS-DOS)
Worth a look
Also Clonezilla
