I think I've tried every possible command with a windows port of dd to image a folder and it doesn't work.

dd.exe if=\\.\E\evidence of=\\.\F\image.dd conv=noerror –localwrt

\\.\E\evidence Access is denied.
Unable to copy file!
Access is denied.

I'm trying to image a folder and obtain not just the files, but unallocated space as well. Is this even possible?

Unallocated space isn't associated with a folder or volume…it's unallocated.

No. It makes no sense at all, at least for NTFS. If you want unallocated space you are going to have to "image" the entire logical volume.
