Unless you have copies of all the install files on your HD, then things could be done easier.

The problem is, the cloned copy of Win7 will probably complain about being on new hardware and will need to be reactivated, which could be troublesome. Same could apply to any software that uses hardware-ID-based activation.
BTW, the problem with Ghost is, unless you have an OLD version that can make a bootable diskette, you have to install it to create an image. Something like Acronis or Paragon can create a bootable CD that you can boot from to create a clean image.
