Disk imaging

I needed to make an image of a client's hard drive today as I was having a deal of trouble copying it due to a lot of corrupted files.

I did a search for hard drive imaging software and came up with these options.
ISO CD Image Creator
Image for Windows 1.61
Ways to Copy the Contents of One Hard Disk Drive to Another
WinImage
Acronis TrueImage
DriveImage

I downloaded and isntalled the Acronis Software which worked perfectly - allowing me to skip the few corrupted files it couldn't handle.
I was then able to mount the image successfully and explore it.

If you use any of the others then how about telling me how they worked in the comments.
