Of course you wanted to write

sudo dd if=/dev/sda6 of=/path/to/file.img bs=128M

And let me add this detail for the OP: If you are running from a live 
linux system, you will first have to mount a file system where you have 
enough free space. In your case that would be 100 GiB - which is 
probably not available on your Windows 7 partitions. Therefore you 
should probably use an external disk.
