I have an image of my Windows partition, I have to install Windows 7 from scratch using the Windows7 x64 SP1 from Digital Rivers. Will my image which was created recently override the vanilla Windows7 once it's installed or should I expect problems ?

I'm not exactly clear on what the issue is but:

If you install a new Windows 7 x64 SP1 on the machine and then restore a previously made image of Windows into the same partition, it will totally over-write the new Windows 7 x64 SP1 installation and anything else in the same partition.

When an image is restored, one of the first things an imaging program does is delete the partition that is going to receive the image data.It then sets up the now unallocated space with the partition data from the image or from changes you requested when you were going through the Restore wizard.
