You can image in "realtime" using a tool like FTK Imager. For best results
you are best imaging the drive without the native OS running e.g. using a
boot CD like Helix since  actively using the disk could result in the data
you want to recover being overwritten. It's a balance against the value of
the data versus the disruption of shutting the machine now.
