Get a Knoppix CD and do it with Linux.

Opan a terminal and do a "sudo su" to become root.

Basic commands:

  List all drives/partitions:
   fdisk -l

  Copy partition to file 
   dd_rescue <source partition> <target file>

  Instructions for dd_rescue
   man dd_rescue

Be careful not to give your HDD as target, or it will be overwritten.
