I have thought of this as well, however I have tried about 5 other imaging apps and nothing worked.  You need something that will do a sector by sector clone of the drive.  Any ideas guys?

Yeah, I pretty much accept that. I used that utility to copy the 8 gig to my 80 gig sector by sector, and that did require some trickery but it was on a pc. All I want to do is that, but instead of to another HD, to an image. As far as a lot of trouble for an 8 gig, yeah, but it drives me nuts to see it sitting there. Maybe I'll bronze it and hang it on the wall!

Put the 8gb back in the Xbox, then use flash fxp to copy the drives to your PC hard drive. There's not much on an original Xbox hard drive, probably only about 412mb max on the C/D/E/Y drives as such. Then burn those files to a CD-R.

If you need to ressurect the 8gb for any reason, use the HDD prep utility available here, zero out the 8gb and then flash fxp the drive files back to the HDD that you burned on your CD-R.

There you go, an 8gb drive back to orginal. As far as straight ghosting, I think I know of a way that it can be done, but have to look into it.
