Since you don't mention a host OS I guess I get to pick one, hence: moving this topic to "Windows Hosts".

I would suggest using Disk2VHD to create an image of the entire disk, then boot with a gparted live ISO to delete any unwanted partitions.

I don't understand your response. I gave my suggestion in my previous message, it should do what you need.
