If it was windows no problem, one can do that but Linux, no idea. I
would love to have a decent tool though for emergencies like this.
On the other hand you should consider using either a Linux backup of a
partition in future or the Norton Ghost as their latest is supposedly
now able to make proper images of Linux partitions. Could be a life
saver with betas (as it was when I was betatesting 98...). You have a
dud, remove the thing and 15 minutes later system is back alive
