If you have at least one Seagate or Maxtor disk in your system you can download and use Seagate's DiscWizard - it's actually a free version of Acronis True Image. Not the latest, but quite usable.
I've used it a few times, and on other brands of disks as well - basically I installed an old Maxtor disk to qualify.
Might be worth checking if other HD makers offer anything similar.
