Dear all friends

I want to make sector by sector clone of a72 GB SCSI hard disk. Obviously I cant do it within windows as windows may alter source /target disks.
my normal choice is DOS and dos based cloning tools. Unfortunately these tools have become obsolete and developer do not support them anymore.
Other alternate will be Linux , but I am strictly a windows guy and not much proficient using Linux.
can someone pls. suggest any alternate.
Thank you

If you need these drives cloned for forensically sound copies, you are best to seek the services of someone who already knows how to do it.

Hi all
Thanks for the suggestions.
FTK imager is good tool ,but it can only Image ,I think it does not support cloning.

You fan use SCSI write blocker to connect hdd to PC. And any software for imaging/clone.

hi Kum
Yes write blocker is good solution ,but scsi interface is too old and such cases come one in 1-2 years. So dead investment is not justified .
Besides you can do his job using proper softwares too.
Here I have completed task , I have used DOS based tools.
I have hdd duplicator licensed version too (last official build) ,but it is not updated in years and some mebera re skeptical for it.
I have cloned scsi to SATA first ( Redced size of 1TB target SATA to 72 GB first)
Then cloned from SATA to scsi again.

I have checked SHA1 using OS forensic of all 3 drives which is precisely same so all 3 disks are digitally identical.
thanks all for the help
