I believe all of Powerquest was acquired by symantec.
Perhaps look at symantec v2i protector which does an amazing job of
administrating and creating images and restoring them. It is more server
based, but it would make a very nice tool for a lab environment if you
could afford the expense.

As an alternative there is a product called Acronis True Image, which
looks almost like a copy of v2i protector. The cost for this is a measly
US$69 or something.

It allows full and incremental image creation.
Live image creation whilst within windows.
Boots off a CD etc. etc.

It has replaced ghost in my arsenal for simple imaging tasks.
I don't think it will be around for long as I am sure they are stepping
on symantecs toes :)

Suffice to say Vmware still rocks for testing as well.

Cheers

Zach

Norton/Symantec Ghost
PowerQuest Drive Image(I think Norton gobbled this one up)

Or for the truly crafty vmWare.
