dd if=hda1 of=whatever ???????

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 someuser at other.machine.ip 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...
