Restoring Win 7 partition from clone

What tool did you use to make the clone? Time Machine won't back up your Windows partition on its own.

Usually the tool you use to clone will also restore. I suggest you try to figure out what the tool was so you can proceed.
What's the filename of the clone you created?
B
Maybe my question was unclear, but I do not presently have Windows 7 installed. Since the entire filesystem of my Windows partition was cloned, I am wondering if it is possible to restore that partition without initially installing Windows 7 from disc.
To put the analogy in other terms. How you take it apart depends on if you put it together with nails or screws and further more if you used screws you need to know if they are designed for flathead or phillips or hex drivers.
I repeat my question. When you cloned your partition, did it do so to a file? If so, what is the name of that file? That may give us a clue, just like looking at the head of the screws.
If it was not to a file, but to a partition that may be harder to figure out.

As others have stated you will need to use the program that cloned it. Thus far only Winclone (since discontinued) has even worked for me and since Snow Leopard it's been hit or miss at best.
Good luck.
