Not particularly clever, but does it show you the block numbers of the partition starts? That's all you need to make a new partition table with fdisk or cfdisk, or to copy out the individual filesystems. If fdisk doesn't want to operate on disk image files, create the table on a real disk (preferably same model) and transplant the first block with dd. Btw drop the word "ISO" here, that is specifically referring to a filesystem in ISO9660 format, which you don't have on your dead hard disk.
