Your desire to do this on a PeeCee is not at all

exists a Windows-based package from Micro-Magic, called SCSI Mechanic,
that can make an exact bit-for-bit image file out of them. Very handy for
data forensics and image preservation, and it doesn't give a flying banana
what the original OS or filesystem on the disk is: It just does a
bit-for-bit, period.
Dig around a bit on the web "hard disk imaging" is a good phrase. There
are several of these packages in either freeware or shareware for PC
platforms--some in DOS, some in Windoze and some in Linux. Imaging is a
big part of computer forensics and so there has been a lot of interest.
