Assuming that you have another machine with enough space to hold the Window$
drive, you can:
Boot both machines in Linux.
From the one with the Window$ installation:
dd if=/dev/?da0|ssh cat - > my-windoze.iso


But I would just install the last Kubuntu, setup Windoze in a virtual
machine and replace the file every time it gets screwed.
Good luck...
