ATI2010 - Win7 Ultimate - can't boot image

Thread needs solution

I made a fresh image of my Win7-64bit OS and I'm not able to add it to the boot sequence manager. The error is:

The selected archive does not contain Windows 7 operating system. Please select another archive.

I'm testing ATI2010 and this is not a good sign...

My disk is divided into 3 primary partitions, each containing a different version of Windows. Partition 1 = XP32, partition 2 = Vista64, partition 3 = Win7-64. Please see attached picture.

I'm wondering if this is because partition 1 is the primary ACTIVE partition. Would i have to image both Partition 1 (active) and partition 3? This is actually suggested under the 1-click backup.

Additionally, 1 click backup shows each partition as "no label" but each partition is labeled! (see attached picture)

What i need to do is be able to image each partition independently and be able to restore (reimage) said partition, without having to reimage the whole drive.
