HDD Raw Copy is a freeware tool for Windows which allows you to create a sector by sector hard disk clone and duplication. HDD Raw Copy tool makes an exact duplicate of a SATA, IDE, SAS, SCSI or SSD hard disk drive. Will also work with any USB and FIREWIRE external drive enclosures as well as SD, MMC, Memory Stick and CompactFlash media. The tool creates a sector-by-sector copy of all areas of the hard drive (MBR, boot records, all partitions as well as space in between).
HDD Raw Copy Tool is a utility for low-level, sector-by-sector hard disk duplication and image creation.

HDD Raw Copy does not depend on the operating system on the drive – it could be Windows, Linux, Mac, or any other OS with any number of partitions (including hidden ones). Bad sectors are automatically skipped by the tool. Apart from this, the tool can also create an exact raw or compressed image of the entire media (including service data such as MBR, Boot records, etc).
