Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I desperately need help. I don't know what to do anymore.
I have an image of a hard drive created in HDD Raw Copy, a .imgc file. I'm trying to clone an IDE disk from this image, and the only computer in my house that has IDE support is running Windows 98. However, HDD Raw Copy doesn't support Windows 98.
Is there any alternate program that runs on Windows 98 that will let me clone a drive sector by sector using a .imgc file? I'm running out of ideas and options, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

how big is it? you could send it to me and I could get it into a regular image or a zip of the filesystem.
OR
find a friend with different hardware.
OR
you imply you have other computers but only sata support. Get a cheap USB-IDE adapter and clone the image on a more modern PC using HDD Raw copy and the drive connected by USB

Or use something like an Win7/MiniXP OS environment found on a hiren's boot cd to use temporarily for this operation.

Where is the imgc file located?
I have read this thread a couple of times and your situation is not very clear.
So I am thinking your best move is to beg, borrow, steal or buy a standard usb to ide hard drive caddy or adapter and to clone via usb. That is pretty much what Haque has suggested.
