retrieving partition from dd image?

I dd'd a dualboot drive from a machine to a file via dd if=/dev/hda |gzip 
-c |split -b 2000m - /mnt/remote/host/file.img.gz, and while I no longer 
have that machine to restore the image to, want to retrieve/restore one of 
the partitions.

I can easily re-cat, gzip -dc, dd of=restored.img, but beyond that, how do 
I extract the partition of choice?   Do I need to restore the image to a 
machine?  If so, I'll find one.

Thanks.

Scott
