I remember that someone tried but with no success with dd.
Maybe it should try better, I don't know, but the idea is to create a
partition only with that key on it and to put that image there.
But it is more simple to do it this way with Norton Ghost with the -ia
parameter.
Teledisk is easier to use however.

I reckon that dd might be a good place to start.
Cheers.
