You can make it by:
1. Backup the image dir first just in case.
2. Change the file name, e.g. $IMAGENAME/hda2.xxx as $IMAGENAME/hda1.xxx
3. Change the contents of the file $IMAGENAME/part, i.e. change hda2 as 
hda1.
Then you can try to restore the image to /dev/hda1.
Of course, you have to deal with the boot.ini of MS Windwos after restoring.
