Hi,

> dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/home/me/partitionhda.img

In order to boot from this you need a boot sector (partitiontable).

Which means you have to a dd if=/dev/hda of=/path/to/img
                                     ~~~ -> without the appended '1'

> should I have added some extra options to dd ? (like bs= count= ?)

Specifying a bigger blocksize could speedup things but don't specifying
one shouldn't do any harm but killing your time. :-)
