(Consider C drive as your Window drive)
1. You have Hiren's Boot CD 10+ version
After download burn Hiren Boot .iso image to a CD using any CD burner.
2. You must have spare space available on any drive other than C drive or external USB Disk for C drive backup. (Check Properties of C drive for used space)
3. You should be aware that Windows-7 usually installs on two partitions i.e. C partition and a hidden partition (system) see image below:
So you have to make image of both "system" and "C " partitions.
Let's Start making ghost of your windows 7...Follow following steps.
Before you start make sure you have plugged in your external USB drive if you want to creat ghost image on external USB drive.

9. Brows to the loaction where you want to save your window's ghost image, give name to the image and press save. (select any compression option i.e. No/Fast/High. I use No). After clicking NO proceed with yes.
10. Image creation starts with percentage. After 100% completed click continue.
Ghost of C drive has been completed.
Now you have to make ghost of "system" partition same as you have made ghost of C drive.
To create image of "system" partition follow step 1 to 8 then select "system" partition from the list and follow step 9 to 10.
(So you have image of two partitions i.e. "system" & "C" partition for windows 7 image backup).
