CM7 consists of 4 partitions on the physical device, and the image that you used to write your SD card with using WinImage actually contained all those four partitons. So you need to create ONE image containing FOUR partitions just as the creators of your original WinImage image file did. I do not use WinImage myself, so I can not be more detailed. Any disk imaging program can make the backup of all four partitions that you need. I use a Windows program produced by Paragon to do my disk image backups.
