If it's the first partition on the disk, just use dd to copy from the
beginning of the drive up to the last sector of the partition and dump
this on a file. Use that file as a raw image. The relevant part on
number of sectors will be on the MBR. For tidyness, run fdisk on that
image and delete the other partition entries.

If it's not... Then I'm out of ideas :)
