Can somebody explain the diffeerence between an "image" and a "copy"? Is there a difference between a boot image and a copy of a boot disk? What is an ISO image? What is the difference between a drive image and a drive copy?
 
ISO file = a standard fromat for storing the contents of a CD disc so that it can be burned from a file
image = proprietary archive (sort of a zip) of hard drive partitions, the format is vendor-specific (Ghost != Drive Image)
copy = transfer contents to another hard drive as file system + individual files not a single archive / image

boot disk = floppy or special CD that includes a boot sector telling it auto-run an OS (typically some DOS) when the computer is restarted.

For more, google is your friend and/or ask a specific question.
