When viewing a disk the "Save As" and "Save Sectors" options are greyed-out. I have the full version... 'sup with that?

"Save As" is available for files only. You cannot save a disk under a different name.

"Save Sectors" is available only after having modified some bytes in the disk's sectors. This is for saving the modifications directly to the disk.

As described in the program help, there are three ways to create disk images:
1) Tools | Disk Tools | Clone Disk (with an image file as the destination)
2) Ctrl+A (=select all), Edit | Copy Block | Into New File
3) File | Create Backup (this does not give a raw image file, but a WinHex Backup of the disk, with additional options)

There are several possibilities:

1. Open the image file, then select Specialist|Interpret image as disk (requires a specialist license)
2. Create a case, and add the image to the case (using the case context menu: "Add Image", requires a forensic license)
