    John,
    
    there is an enhanced version of GNU dd for Win* which
    provides what you need
    
    dd.exe if=\\.\PhysicalMemory of=d:\images\PhysicalMemory.img
    
    Sorry, I don't remember the download location off my
    head, just google for dd.exe and physical memory...
    
    Best regards,
    
    Knut
