Hi, I haven't used it myself, but it looks like this http://sourceforge.net/projects/windd/ will do what you want. Assuming you have the drive connected as a slave or via USB and you are booting off another drive, theres no reason for you to boot to another operating system to do the image. If whilst imaging the drive starts to make strange noises, stop the image straight away and consider sending to a professional. There are some other solutions if this happens, but they require rather expensive software such as media tools pro which is inaccessible. Cheers, Ben.

There are restoration services that will try to recover your data for you, but they aren't cheap.
Is your data more valuable monetarily than the cost of a new drive?
and, DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP REGULARLY next time.

Hi,
Yes, Vinux and most other Linux distributions will contain the DD command, although you will have to run this through the terminal as it doesn't have a gui.
Cheers, Ben.
