That in itself shouldn't be a problem. You could just copy the files
(using ntfs-3g), use dd or some other method. But your problem will be
that Windows won't find itself in the expected place anymore. Off the
top of my head, I only know of C:\boot.ini which must be adapted, but I
don't even know whether Windows 7 still uses this file.
Google shoud help, though:

Feel free to share the approach that worked for you. :)
