I'm not sure, but mounting the whole hda as loopback could work (seem
to remember a thread about this some time ago on the list, search the
archives).
In case it does not, try this. Since the real partitions usually start
at the second sector (the first being the MBR that holds the
bootloader and the partition table), I guess (iff the hard disk had
only one partition taking all the space) you can extract only the
hda1 partition by dd'ing the file onto another one but this time
skipping the first sector, ie something like
dd if=hda.img of=hda1.img bs=512 skip=1
or so.
Hope this works.
