Hi Witzker,
I would suggest the tutorial on dd command, which will show you how to create a block level copy of a device. You don’t need to overwrite the whole USD device, only place a block level copy of the disk in the laptop into a file. Be sure to test your method before applying (in a virtual machine, for example), dd is a handy tool, but can also be a real destructive one if used improperly.
