You should be able to use the original media that came with Windows 7 when you purchased it.
Since Windows 7 was only released on DVD or as a iso file and was never released as a img file we can only assume that you got this through neferious means. If that is the case you won't find much help here.

I've gotten Windows 7 as an ISO from the MSDN site. All legal and paid by the university.

Not only that but all Microsofts student & upgrade versions are offered as ISO's.
Anyway if he stole a license key he has already stolen Windows 7; the ISO only works for 30 days without a key (theres no point in denying him a publicly available ISO).

If you need a different version than what's avaiable for download just delete "sources/ei.cfg" to convert the install media to one that asks you what version you want.

Earlier student downloads were packages as a .EXE file with a .BOX file for the image itself. In general you can use one of the standard/official ISOs with your key as per the links Quad5NY provided.
