Most drive image software packages require that you save the image to a separate location. However, I did run across a few applications that will allow you to save the image to your current drive. Once the image has been saved, you'll then need to burn the data to a CD, DVD, large USB memory stick, etc... The two applications are listed below.

(I'm actually testing this one while I'm typing this. It looks pretty promising so far.)

(I've downloaded this one, but I haven't tested it yet.)

Here's a link to several other free applications. Of course, there are commercial applications as well, but they cost money.

PS - What OS are you trying to backup? I'm testing these apps in Windows XP, but I can try Vista if that's what you're using.
