Are you looking to image an entire disk?  You may want to look at g4u.

g4u - Harddisk Image Cloning for PCs
http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/

g4u will image just about any OS or data disk, as it does the imaging on
a fairly low level.  g4u does use gzip compression, but the images are
still fairly large.
