You need a device copy program which allows direct access. I only know
of one in linux called dd. IMHO it should be ported to Freedos also
with dd_rescue for damaged disks.
You can try it under knoppix.com or get a copy with book from Oreilly.
Otherwise your stuck with payware AFAIK from Symmantec akd Norton
Utilities.
