How to Create an Image File of an Entire Drive?

I have a very old 200GB hard drive that holds a lot of my important data, including photos, videos, graduation papers, etc., from my youth. I am afraid that the drive will deteriorate and become unreadable in the future. I'd like to create an image of the entire drive to prevent this from happening. How can I do this? Any response would be greatly appreciated!
