Thanks, but it ends with:
BLKRRPART: Invalid argument

The problem can be that I did dd at disk with broken partition table. So over
the disk image I've run testdisk utility and it found the partitions - labels
and the correct sizes (as far as I remember). There are two partitions NTFS
and FAT32 and using the testdisk utility, it enables me to browse the FAT
partition, so I thing the testdisk succeeded.

Any idea at that?

Thanks a lot.
