How to make my own restore DVD?

I am about to reload my PC from scratch as I have some new hardware to install. Once I have my OS loaded and patched, and all my applications installed and configured, I want to burn an image of my hard drive to a bootable DVD that I can use to restore it to that point when ever I want. Basically, I want to make my own restore CD, much like the ones that come with new systems. However, I want to use my DVD burner so I can have a full 4.7G image on one DVD, which means I can load most of what I want on my system before the image is taken.

Things that I would need details on would be what program to use to create the image, and how to make a bootable DVD that contains everything that would be needed to wipe my existing hard drive, format it, and install the new image, all with a minimal amount of user intervention.

Since I have never done anything like this before, I would need a step by step process on how to do this. Can anyone help me out???
 
Funny man.

It's been years since I used Ghost, and wasn't sure if Ghost, or a similar program like Acronis True Image 8.0 would do everything I need, including burning the DVD and creating a bootable DVD. If it does, problem solved.
