Creating a self-booting disk image with Acronis

Thread needs solution

I have a laptop with a fresh, very minimal Windows 7 install.

I want to make an image of this install. I need it to be extremely easy to reinstall the image on the laptop, as it is being taken to another country and will be used by strangers.

What I want is to be able to insert a USB flash drive into the laptop, reboot, and have the flash drive automatically reimage the laptop to its default state. If it is impossible to completely automate this process, I would like it to be a simple 1-click operation.

Can anybody offer some suggestions as to how I can do this?

You might want to check out ImgBurn, a free app that can create a bootable image of a disk.
