I can't thank you enough for you help.

Follow up question:
My hard disk had NTFS and Ext4 partitions.
So in which format should I create the new partition to hold the image?
Or that doesn't really matter?

My internal hard disk just crashed and all the partitions are gone. I tried using TestDisk's Deep Search feature
but it's taking too long - it just hangs at 45% for more than a day. Scanning 1 cylinder takes more than 5 minutes.
Probably the disk is too damaged.

I understand that I should first ...
