There are several ways of doing this. The first option of course is to create a bootable GHOST image and insert the cd into the machines you wish to image and boot from cd. This will of course image your machine from CD. You can put your image on your network and use a Network boot disk and image the machine through your network. If you decide which way you want to do this you can email me and I will help you find the boot disk's and walk you through the image process. Be familiar with SYSPREP from microsoft also.

Grab a camera and a paper file.

Walk around the house and take pictures of your windows.

Print / develop them & insert then in to the paper file
