If you are running in a terminal on top of X, just do cfdisk and
then copy the text by swiping with the mouse.  I do not have in
my typing figers which button does pick up and which does put
down.

Example:

                          cfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.13)

                               Disk Drive: /dev/hda
                        Size: 251000193024 bytes, 251.0 GB
              Heads: 255   Sectors per Track: 63   Cylinders: 30515

     Name        Flags      Part Type  FS Type          [Label]        Size (MB)
