both for windows and linux, less then 500 MB?

Two reasons:

1) Because a standard system utility for disk imaging exists on Linux (or any 
other Unix-like, for that matter), which has been around since before Linux, or 
even DOS was around: dd

2) Because the interfaces that Windows and Unix provide to applications for raw 
disk access are different, so equivalent disk imaging programs will basically 
share no code, so few if any such programs on either system have had their 
developers bother to release a version for the other platform.
