For reliably creating and restoring Linux or Windows 7 disk images I've had good results with my favorite program "Image for Linux". It has an option to use Windows 7 MBR compatible image, but you have to set that in the program options at the first screen, before you start the actual imaging process. For entire operating system backups as an image, I've had good results with Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, Paragon, Active Disk Image, Drive Snapshot, dd, and a couple others. Of these I prefer Drive Snapshot for creating a disk image out from under a running Windows. But the most reliable disk image for me is "Image for Windows" or it's partner program "Image for Linux", which I run from a boot disk to get an image of Windows while it's not running.
