Hi tranglos,
I think you will find that this bit:
One weird thing though... you know when 7 boots, it displays the colored dancing balls and petal-like things? Well, after restoring the 7 image, the boot-up animation has reverted to the sickly green-ish progress bar that XP had. How come?
Is probably caused by the partition with Windows 7 installed on it being set as the active partition rather than the small 100 - 200MB one. I did that once myself when restoring a ShadowProtect (excellent disk imaging software) image of my Windows 7 drive. One of the options in the ShadowProtect restore wizard is whether on not to set a particular partition as active when it's restored abd you shouldn't select that option for the main Windows 7 OS partition.
Regards,
Terry
