DOS doesn't recognize NTFS partitions. Checkout http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ . BartPE helps you generate a boot CD that will give you access to the hard disk. Load DriveImageXML into the BartPE image and do a raw backup over the network, or to a different hard drive if you want to save an image of everything as it is now.
