Put it into a Linux box and do a low level "dd" from the disk to either
another disk or a file on the machine. Heck, mount it read only, copy the
filesystem to a subdirectory on the Linux box, get VMWARE, and you can run
it in a virtual environment.
I would strongly recommend doing all your research on copies of the disk if
you really want to sue this guy. If your not good with Linux, contact the
FBI, at SANS last year they had a guy that said that they have systems that
copy disks track for track for investigative purposes.
